asp_databases thread: error trapping


Message #1 by "Inanna" <inanna@d...> on Wed, 18 Apr 2001 23:13:43
When error trapping everything seems to work fine when I deliberately 

break something... trapping some errors using "Server.CreateObject

("ADODB.Error")" and others using "objErr in objConn.Errors" BUT if the 

database file I am trying to connect to with the connection string doesn't 

exist I get the error 

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' 

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file '(unknown)'. 

Hopefully it will never occur but if it does how can I trap this error?

place a call to the error trapper in the adovb.asp page

or what ever page you use to create the ADO connection in

Thankyou Thor.... I had the error trap call AFTER the objConnection.Open 

call so the error wasn't trapped because it was too late. I didn't realise 

that an error can occur when the connection is defined DUHH!!! so I put 

the call straight after it and it works fine now. I am soooo happy :)
