how can you catch the Server.MapPath error?

[kyrillos]

hello,
i get the common error message when using the Server.MapPath( ) error. which is

Server.MapPath( ) error 'ASP 0173 : 80004005'
Invalid Path Character
An invalid character was specified in the Path parameter .....


My question is, how can i handle this error message.
in other words, i would like the server in this case to display a custom message that i will make

thank you

Hi,

"On Error Resume Next" and "Err.Number " are your friends here:

<% On Error Resume Next
Dim Foo
Foo = Server.MapPath("Bad,Path")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        Err.Clear 'So we can trap other errors later.
	'Show your error message
	
Else
	'Do stuff.
End If %>
