8.8 Err Object

The Err object contains information about run-time errors.

Properties

Description
 
The descriptive string associated with an error.
 
HelpContext
 
A context ID for a topic in a Windows help file.
 
HelpFile
 
A fully qualified path to a Windows help file.
 
Number
 
A numeric value identifying an error.
 
Source
 
The name of the object or application that originally generated the error.
 

Remarks

The properties of the Err object are set by the generator of an error - Visual Basic, an Automation object, or the VBScript programmer.
 
The default property of the Err object is Number. Err.Number contains an integer and can be used by an Automation object to return an SCODE.
 
When a run-time error occurs, the properties of the Err object are filled with information that uniquely identifies the error and information that can be used to handle it. To generate a run-time error in your code, use the Raise method.
 
The Err object's properties are reset to zero or zero-length strings ("") after an On Error Resume Next statement. The Clear method can be used to explicitly reset Err.
 
The Err object is an intrinsic object with global scope - there is no need to create an instance of it in your code.
