The following line gave me an error stating the 'this' can only be used in a method :

ON ERROR this.adoconnectionerror()

where 'this' is my ADO handling class and ADOConnectionError is the method that handles ADO errors. Even if I create a seperate class to handle the error I still have to create a property to hold the object and I'm back where I started.
Please don't tell me I have to use an external procedure or a public variable....

Also, this error would indicate that 'this' is not a pointer. Surely whatever comes after ON ERROR would evaluate to a memory address. Either ON ERROR has some weird behaviour or 'this' isn't what it appears to be...

Thanks in advance..
