Michael,

Add two properties to the form, called lErrorOccurred and lSuppressError. In the error() method of the form, you can do as you suggested and trap the specific error.

The following code bypasses the error routine in Codemine. Hopefully something like this will work in your situation.

* formMethod1() method
thisform.lErrorOccurred = .f.
thisform.lSuppressError = .t.
x = "a" + 5  && this will throw an error, but will continue on...
thisform.lSuppressError = .f.

if thisform.lErrorOccurred
   activate screen
  ? program(),"Houston, we have a problem!"
endif
* end of method

* form.error() method
LPARAMETERS nerror,cmethod,nline

if !this.lSuppressError
    return dodefault(nerror,cmethod,nline)  && call Codemine form.error() method
else
    * trap for specific error here, and call dodefault() if necessary
    thisform.lErrorOccurred = .t.
endif

>The code is within a method of an object on the form - and yes, I'm doing it for someone else who has CodeMine.
