Assuming this is LotusScript then:

Sub…

On Error 4294 Goto NoMatchFound

your code

Exit Sub

NoMatchFound:

Msgbox "No match was found for " +name

Resume Next

End Sub

If you need more info on Error handling then it’s covered in the designer help file.

HTH - Rufus.

How know the error’s number

Subject: RE: how treat an exception

Many of the errors have symbolic names defined in .lss files in the Notes program directory. This one is in lsxbeerr.lss, and its name is lsERR_NOTES_NO_MATCH.

Sometimes you can figure out from the name what error they’re talking about – sometimes it’s not obvious. In general, if you’re having an error that you want to trap and you’re not sure what its number is, you can write code such as the following:

On Error Goto Trap

Trap:

Messagebox "Error " & Err & " on line " & Erl & ": " & Error

Exit Sub

When the error happens, this will print out the error number. Then you edit the code again and write a specific On Error statement for that error code. It’s better for readability to use the symbolic name instead of using the number as Rufus did.
