Error Handling in Declarations Section

[Workaholic]

Hi,
I have written an application in which I am using a third party
control. I have declared the control using a DIM statement in the
Declarations Section of the application, so that it is available to
all functions and sub-routines in the application. Everything works
fine on my development PC.

If I install the application onto a second PC, which does not have the
third party control installed, then I get problems (which you'd
expect!). The application dies immediately with a "Applicatio n has
generated an exception that could not be handled" messagebox.

Please can somebody tell me how I can handle this error. I can handle
errors in functions and sub-routines, but I don't know how to handle
an error that is coming from the declarations section!

Thanks
