Hi,

Try: VBIDEUtils add-ins
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/6311/vbideutils.htm

among its features include
1) Add simple error handler to your code
2) Add enhanced error handler with call stack tracing

Hope this helps

i actually just did that myself... but only had to do it for about 180 for the estimated 1000 subs of my program... what a pain
Hell, you're not supposed to do it manually ;)  Doing it automatically will be a better solution because you can also make the logging include all parameters easy. Maybe you need the parameters too to know what went wrong in a procedure/function.

I find out from the error message the gave me... it was just a cut and paste job and now i can use find replace to quickly turn all that code on or of since it all starts with
If bDebug then print #66,

.... it's not that bad... problem is is when one sub calls 3 others then goes back to the first and crashes... that is why i wanted the call stack instead.

This is what i ended up doing. It worked ok... if one sub is fired it writes it's text then it calls 4 more subs that call subs in turn... it should also be written to say where subs end ... then if you used a procuder to do the writing you could indent the written lines to see your call structure... this would be nice... maybe i'll write a program to d that and make 600$ per sale... oh well, thank you
