How can I create an error log?
How would I create an error log that would store log data to a cell range or
a .txt file, to include: Error number, error name/description, line of suspected erronious code and if possible some basic information about what they did to create that error? I am having some intermittent errors that occur in my VB code on different machines... Because no one else at my office has any idea what I'm doing they disregard the error and move on. Then all I get is the extremely useful error report from them: "Your excel file doesn't work!" which is very hard to debug! Any help or suggestions on implementing this would be appreciated. Thank you! ~Josh |

See if something like this suits you:
Sub test() Dim bt As Byte Dim btSum As Byte Dim arrErrorData(1 To 6) 10 On Error GoTo ERROROUT 20 For bt = 1 To 300 30 btSum = btSum + bt 40 Next 50 Exit Sub ERROROUT: 60 arrErrorData(1) = Format(Now, "dd/mmm/yyyy hh:mm") 70 arrErrorData(2) = "Module: Module1" 80 arrErrorData(3) = "Procedu Sub test()" 90 arrErrorData(4) = "Error line: " & Erl 100 arrErrorData(5) = "Error number: " & Err.Number 110 arrErrorData(6) = Err.Description 120 Save1DArrayToTextAppend "C:\ErrorqqLog.txt", arrErrorData End Sub Sub Save1DArrayToTextAppend(txtFile As String, _ arr As Variant, _ Optional LB As Long = -1, _ Optional UB As Long = -1) Dim r As Long Dim hFile As Long If LB = -1 Then LB = LBound(arr) End If If UB = -1 Then UB = UBound(arr) End If hFile = FreeFile Open txtFile For Append As hFile For r = LB To UB If r = UB Then Write #hFile, arr(r) Else Write #hFile, arr(r); End If Next Close #hFile End Sub Just copy and paste in a module and run the Sub test.

How can I create an error log?
Amazing!!! I'm really impressed! Thank you so much! I will just have the
log file saved to my network drive so I can access it from my computer and do "check ups" on my program!!

How can I create an error log?
No trouble. 2 further tips:
If you have to add this to a lot of procedures then you could make a central error writing Sub with a few arguments and save yourself a lot of typing. Secondly get MZ-Tools as that can quickly add the error lines for you + has lots of other good things: http://www.mztools.com/index.htm RBS "Bob the Kart Racing fool" wrote in message ... Amazing!!!
