Status(CurrentError) error!

[alloyd]

I have a script that does the following:-

Set error Capture [On]

Open [Open Hidden, "Colleger Register"]

if [status(currentError)=0]

SetField[Register Online Status", "Online"]

Else

SetField[Register Online Status", "Offline"]

End if

The script works fine most of the time, but occasionally sets the field to "online" even when the "college register" file has not been found. In other words Status(CurrentError) is returning 0 after an error on open. Anyone any ideas?

Hi,

Rather than looking for the positive, have you tried looking for the negative. By looking for the actual error may help you out. Error code 100 is File missing.

Set error Capture [On]

Open [Open Hidden, "Colleger Register"]

if [status(currentError)=100]

SetField[Register Online Status", "Offline"]

Else

SetField[Register Online Status", "Online"]

End if

You could also use the design function DatabaseNames to check for which files are open

Set Field [Register Online Status, Case(PatternCount(DatabaseNames,"Colleger Register"),"Online","Offline")]
