Error Handling

[Martin]

Hello,

 

i have threePrompts to enter different names. If the user presses cancel i can handle this error - do i have to put the errorhandlingaround each of the Input lines or is there a better solution -

 

Thank you very much!

I don't understand why you are using error handling. Error handling is for system errors, not human. EG a file can't be read. Although for detecting "cancel" it's useful. Besides that validating user input should just be done programmatically. What I do is create a loop. The only way out of the loop is to pass a test. If they pas the test I exit the loop. If it doesn't pass the test it pops up an error message and the loop recycles. Then I usually use the cancel button to abort the macro.
