Error Function

Description

Returns the error message that corresponds to a given error number.

Syntax

Error[(errornumber)]

The optional errornumber argument can be any valid error number. If errornumber is a valid error number, but is not defined, Error returns the string "Application-defined or object-defined error." If errornumber is not valid, an error occurs. If errornumber is omitted, the message corresponding to the most recent run-time error is returned. If no run-time error has occurred, or errornumber is 0, Error returns a zero-length string (" ").

Remarks

Examine the property settings of the Err object to identify the most recent run-time error. The return value of the Error function corresponds to the Description property of the Err object.
