- Introducing Errors! Errors! Errors!
-
- It happens to us all. No matter how hard we try to prevent
- it, errors still slip in. And, as always seems to be the
- case, they don't rear their ugly head until they reach the
- user. Then the next thing you know you've go an unhappy,
- generally unhelpful and sometimes irate customer breathing
- down your neck because the program didn't run right "the
- first times out of the box".
-
- Now the fun begins as you try to determine what caused the
- problem. The user is of now help because all they can
- remember about what happened is that it crashed. After
- what seems like hours you finally get the user to duplicate
- the error. Yikes! They didn't write down the message, and
- the module of code which apparently caused the problem is
- over 3000 lines of code long. What should you do next?
- Do you:
-
- 1. Exercise your F8 finger to get it back in shape.
- 2. Have the customer utilize his favorite word processor
- to open the ERRORLOG.TXT file which resides in the
- program's directory, and tell you what the last entry
- in the log says.
-
- What is Errors! Errors! Errors!?
-
- It is a DLL that you can add to your Visual Basic program
- which includes every error generated by Visual Basis and
- the Access Jet engines (1.x and 2.0). By adding this DLL
- and a few lines of code to your modules, you program will
- then not only generate an error message that your user
- can understand, but it will prompt them to enter information
- at the time of the crash as to what they were doing when it
- occurred.
-
- The DLL then writes this information to an ASCII text file
- in the program's directory for later review or retrieval.
- Error! Errors! Errors! will even go so far as to tell you
- the date and time of the error, which module was executing
- when the error occurred, and even the exact line of code
- on which the error occurred if you have this feature
- implemented.
