Error Handling and "Exit_Sub"

[Denburt]

I guess error logging could be a good thing but that is one I will think on, I get an email and that is more than sufficient for me since I can catch the error within a few minutes of it happening, they usually just call and ask if it's been fixed or if there will be time involved. I don't even have to be on site I can just remote in and it's a done deal. I find most of my errors are easily corrected within minutes.

Worst case scenario they have a rollback feature to drop back to a previous version. I have thought about incorporating that into the error handler in case it is a serious error or I can't get to it right away but I think I may be going overboard with automating that, they can click a stupid button if they need to.

Hi Denburt,
If you can be sure that all your users will have access installed on their machines, then I agree the Developer's edition may not be worth the price. To me the fact that I can create a CD which installs my application plus access Run-Time on the user's machine makes it well worth the price. I've installed Runtime on over 50 sites - with up to 10 machines per site in some cases since 2000, so it has well and truly paid for itself.

Besides I love the fact that my users have no access to Access functionality (if you'll pardon the pun) other than what my application allows them.

Yeah I guess I have gotten spoiled working for such a large firm. I find the larger firms generally have MS Office on most of their P.C.'s Thinking back when I used the Developers addition I was able to make everything appear as though it had nothing or little to do with MS Access it was simply an EXE you installed and most people would never know it was MS Access. I still use most companies logo for screen splash BMP, Icon etc.

Sorry folks end Hijack
