>Wondering if somebody could give me a basic code example of error handling. I have not done this in VFP 7 and I know that a certain line of code is giving me an error. Thanks!

Somewhere in your code, before you expect any errors, have a line like:

ON ERROR do sysErrMess WITH ;
   ERROR(), MESSAGE(), MESSAGE( 1), PROGRAM(), LINENO()

then the error routine is like:

* Program sysERRMESS
* Display Message Box dialog of the error details, given by params

#INCLUDE Standard.H
LPARAMETERS tcError, tcMess, tcMess1, tcProg, tnlineNo
LOCAL		lcLine1, lcLine2, lcLine3, lcLine4, lcLine5

Store "" To lcLine1, lcLine2, lcLine3, lcLine4, lcLine5

lcLine1	= 'Error number:          ' + ALLTRIM( STR( tcError)) + CHR(13)
lcLine2	= 'Message:               ' + ALLTRIM( tcMess)  + CHR(13)
lcLine3	= 'occurred at Line No:   ' + ALLTRIM( STR( tnlineNo)) + CHR(13)
lcLine4	= 'of Program:            ' + PROPER( ALLTRIM( tcProg)) + CHR(13)
lcLine5	= 'Line of Code:          ' + ALLTRIM( tcMess1)  + "." + CHR(13) + CHR(13)
lcLine6	= 'Please note down details and report error.'
= MESSAGEBOX( lcLine1 + lcLine2 + lcLine3 + lcLine4 + lcLine5 + lcLine6, MB_ICONSTOP, "System Program Error")
