Nadya,

As you mentioned, if an error occurs in an object, then the object's error method fires. If you want to invoke your global error handler, you have to do something like this in the error method:

lcOnError = ON("ERROR")
	
*-- check if there's an error handler in effect
IF NOT EMPTY(lcOnError)		
	*-- call error handler
	&lcOnError
	RETURN
ELSE
	*-- handle error here
ENDIF

>>For some reason our on error event is not firing. I even tried setting step on and typing "on error" in the command window prior to the line of code that should have issued the error? When this didn't work I typed "on error" on the line preceeding the line of code that should have issued the error.

>>Many thanks.
