Walter,

It's a very good JI *s*

I only use error handlers to handle true errors. If there is a need for defensive code that will prevent a possible error from occuring I always use it. IMHO error handling should not be part of the "normal" operation of the code.

>PMFJI, but there is one thing people should be aware off. The RI mechanism in the standard VFP RIBuilder (and my TaxRiBuilder for that matter) rely on the ON ERROR mechanism.
