On Local Error -- Q for Dev Ashish or others

[jfp]

In a post earlier today (20030923 19:20), Gina referred to:

http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0009.htm

The code there (courtesy Dev Ashish) contains the line:

On Local Error GoTo fRefreshLinks_Err

I understand "On Error", but my VB/VBA book has nothing about "On Local
Error"

What is this ?

Ignore it. As far as I know, it's treated exactly the same as On Error.

If I recall correctly, it's there for compatibility with the old Basic days,
when you could have global error handlers and local error handlers.
Sometimes we forget where we are...
