variable or propertie 'name' for self written sub or function
Hi, i just made a small sub 'logError' that writes the date, time,
err.Number and err.Description to a specified worksheet. I also want to write the name of the Sub or Function that caused the error to be raised... Now i have to change the parameter each time i'm using the statement 'logError Date, Time, Err.Number, Err.Description, "name for sub or function" '. Can someone tell me if there's a variable to use that has the name of a self made sub or function? I hope the question is clear enough... Thanks jan |

No, afraid not, we would all love there to be one.
What I do is to create a global variable, and set it at the head of each procedure, painful, but I know of no better way. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Jantje" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks Bob!
Your method is also an option for me. It would have been a nice feature though... On 15 feb, 12:14, "Bob Phillips" wrote: No, afraid not, we would all love there to be one.

It sure would, as would a property that tells you the calling procedure.

variable or propertie 'name' for self written sub or function
Jan,
See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/InsertProcedureNames.htm for code that will automatically insert a CONST statement in to each procedure in a module. The value of the CONST declaration is the name of the procedure that contains it. Once you run this, you can use that constant's name (which you supply) in your error handling message. E.g, ErrHandler: MsgBox "Error: " & CStr(Err.Number) & vbCrLf & _ "Descsrption: " & Err.Description & vbCrLf & _ "In Procedu " & C_PROC_NAME Where C_PROC_NAME is the constant containing the name of the procedure. You choose the name "C_PROC_NAME" (it can be any syntactically correct constant name) and the code automatically insert into each procedure in the module a declaration like Const C_PROC_NAME = "MyProcName" The code on the page http://www.cpearson.com/excel/InsertProcedureNames.htm assume that you are somewhat familiar, at least at a conceptual level, with using VBA code to write more VBA code. This is described in some detail with lots of examples on www.cpearson.com/excel/vbe.htm -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "Jantje" wrote in message oups.com...

You're an old Tandem/NSK man, Bob. We could do this in TACL. What was it,
#ROUTINENAME? Something like that. And in TAL, not only could you read the Call Stack to see who called the current procedure, but you could also modify the Call Stack and the variables before the beginning of the local stack storage to have one procedure return to a procedure different that the one that called it. I never found a good practical reason to send the return to different proc, but I sure had fun writing code to do it. Just for amusement, of course. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Ah, the good old days! I was on Tandem's before TACL, and really appreciated
it when it was introduced. Bob "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ... You're an old Tandem/NSK man, Bob. We could do this in TACL. What was it, #ROUTINENAME? Something like that.
