Nadya,
Thanks for your feedback. Its good to know that Mike Asherman's error handler is working out well for you. His site is an amazing source of error handling content. I highly recommend it as a source for anyone who wants to learn more about this topic.
I reviewed Hennig's and Mike Asherman's error handlers but I think(?) I'm looking for something a little simpler. My end goal is to be able to emulate a 'try, catch, finally, endtry' type of error handling capability where errors are handled in line and where a 'finally' type of capability insures that the appropriate cleanup happens.
I'm curious if anyone else has tried to do the same in VFP?
Regards,
Malcolm

I also saw messages from him here regarding the same problem, you're experiencing (it was a discussion with Doug Henning, I can find the specific thread, if you're interested). However, nothing came up from this discussion.

>>Thanks for your recommendation. Since posting my original query, I came across the site you posted. In reviewing this site I noticed that Mike Asherman (site author) came across the exact same problem as I did. The problem being that the 'return to' command will only accept unqualified procedure/method names. What we need is a way to specify a 'return to' destination with an object instance qualifier (to distinguish between multiple stack entries with matching method names but different class hierarchies) or a way to return to a specific program depth as in 'return to
' where is an integer that describes a specific position in the program() call stack.

>>Malcolm: I'm trying to use the 'return to program' statement to return to method code earlier in my program stack. The problem is that program() returns method code names as objectname.method but the 'return to program' syntax does not accept program names with periods.
