Hi,

I'm attemtping to catch, and ignore javascript errors... It works for certain messages, but others still get through. Could anyone help me out with this? I'm pulling data, and putting it to an Excel sheet, and Excel is very fragile which is why I want to ignore and continue... The one error message that seems to always get through is "Call was rejected by callee."

window.onerror = handleErrors
function handleErrors(msg, url, line)
{
    createLog(msg,line);
    return (true);
}

function createLog(msg,line)
{
    var fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    var path = getPath();
    path += "\\logs\\" + timeStamp() + ".txt";

    if (!fs.FileExists(path))
        var a = fs.CreateTextFile(path, true);
    else
        var a = fs.OpenTextFile(path, 8, false);

    for (i=0;i<appRunningArr.length;i++)
        if (appRunningArr[i] == true)
        {
            runningApp += listAppArr[i] + " ";
            restartApp(listAppArr[i]);
        }

    a.WriteLine("Error occured at: " + getTime());
    a.WriteLine("Message: " + msg);
    a.WriteLine("Line: " + line);
    a.WriteLine("Running application(s): " + runningApp);
    a.WriteLine("");
}

This looks like you are using Javascript on the server side, is that correct ? you may want to look at http://www.greggriffiths.org/webdev/both/excel/ which covers some client and server side approaches to populating Excel via the web.

The error seems to be arising through a breakdown between the COM server and IE, this will not be caught by window.onerror but might be caught by a try/catch block. What is the relevant Excel automation code?

This is all on the client Side... sadly I have no server helping out on this...

How would I go about to do a try/catch???
