Error 6 line of code?I came across the following line of code which errors out. If lrc <> ERROR_NONE Then Error 5 You can see examples of this code in MS KB articles. For example http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210860 This compiles but at execution time causes an error. Now this isn't a big deal as the code is going to drop out of the routine anyhow. But I'm curious. What is the Error 5 supposed to be doing?

Confused yet? Try this fun code: Option Explicit Private Sub Form_Load() Dim i As Long On Error Resume Next For i = 1 To 20 Err.Raise i Debug.Print "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description Err.Clear Next End Sub Tony Toews [MVP] wrote:

But you're in CDT, which is -0500, not CST, right? ;-) That means, my posts that answer yours appear to have been made before the ones they're replying to.
