Please give a detailed example
I want to have a fuction that will return:
The Module or Form that the error occurs in.
The Procedure that the error occurs in.
The line the error occurs in.
And of course in will return Err.Number and Err.Description.

Basically its not possible, but...
From an exe you have to put context information in your code.
This can be
(a) a global which sets a context string
(b) a stack class which adds a context every time you do a call, and removes the context every time you return
option (b) can be a performance hit. option (a) doesn't always give you the info you need. so its down to what your requirements are.
From VB you can set tools - options - break on all errors. Then the debugger will break on the error line. I guess you knew that already ?

I use third party tool named CodeSmart 2003. The error handler's written with this tool can tell me the exact line and place of the error.
