Creating a Generic Handler

Creating a Generic Handler

Question:
I am trying to write a generic error handler and would like some way of determining which proceedure or function the error has occured so that the generic error handler can display the proceedures or functions name in the error message.

Answer:
Each of my significant procedures has an error handler that calls a generalized one for file errors, etc. I pass along the procedure name to that generalized error handler so it can log the form name and procedure name for later use. VB doesn’t have a way to retrieve the function name programatically.
