Which Is Better Coding?

@greg - yes mate, I understand that the number is negative because of vbObjectError's value - what I couldn't understand is that the help said that if you add 513 to vbObject error it will return error code 513 - although that would mean that vbObjectError would be zero. I think Rory's point about having to remove the vbObjectError to get the "real" error code makes sense though.

BTW, your comment about about the value being prettier in hex made me chuckle :)

Cheers

Dan,

Thanks so much for that link. It certainly helps explain why vbObjectError looks so much purdier in hex than in decimal. :wink:
