Mark,

Nice. It seems you've extended it a bit. I only 'redirect' the on('error') in the error event.


>Gregory, I really liked your method and used it in my wrapper class that calls my UDF. I didn't use this within a form. I just used your method of executing the ON ERROR setting from within an Error() event.

>It took me a while to figure out what you meant and what your example was doing, but I get it now. It seems to work nicely. Basically, I create a class that has two methods. One is the Error() event. The other is a method that calls my original UDF. After I create the object, I call the second method, which calls my UDF. When an error occurs in the UDF the Error event "macro's" the command that is returned from ON("ERROR"). That is slick! I'm so glad there is an easy and quick way to keep my existing UDF's in tact without major changes. Thanks a lot.
