Hello All,

I wanted to ask is there any onError Kindov a command in asp ?

For example, if i try to open a file using server.execute and the file is not there, could there be a command with the help of which i can write a custom error message ?

i just wrote


Server.Execute(songlyrics)
onError(Server.Execute("error.asp"))

I dont think this works, is there any command that may do this ?thanks in advance.

<%

On Error Resume Next 'Resume to the next line if error



... ... ...



If Err.Number <> 0 Then  'If there is an error

 ... ... ...    'Action to perform if there is an error

End If

%>

Won't work. Sever executes and includes are resolved when the asp page loads - not when the script executes.

for includes it wont work, but with server.execute it works fine

ServerSideIncludes is Pre-processing, but Server.* Commands is not.

Try this.

Create 2 asp pages - calling.asp and called.asp.

In calling.asp, paste this code...

<%
'On Error Resume Next
Server.Execute("called.asp")
If Err.Number <> 0 then 
 response.write Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & "<BR>"
else
 response.write "<BR>calling program ran ok<BR>"
End If
%>

In called.asp, paste this code...

<%
response.write "<BR>Written by the program invoked by sever.execute <BR>"
%>

Run calling.asp, and you'll see the response written by called.asp

Now change the file name used in calling.asp's server.execute statement to something else that doesn't exist - e.g. xxx.asp and rerun calling.asp.

You'll get a page load error for calling.asp.

In calling.asp you have commented out On Error Resume next...

Change line 1 from

'On Error Resume Next

On Error Resume Next

why did you comment On Error?

if it was a typo, what server are you running?

On Error Resume Next

On Error Goto 0 <<important because this turns error back on!

if you do not remember this, than the code will happily go on ignoring errors after the section you want to error handle.
