Problem calling Error Handler in Standard Module from Form Module

[John D]

I've followed 2 books exactly, as far as I can tell, but "it" doesn't work.

I have in a Standard Module [modBusinessLogic]:
_____________________________

' General Error Handler to be called from most procedures

Public Sub GenErrHand(lngErrNumber As Long, strErrDesc As String,
strModuleSource As String, strProcedureSource As String)

Dim strMessage As String

strMessage = "An error has occured. Please report this info:" & _
vbCrLf & "Error Number: " & lngErrNumber & _
vbCrLf & "Description: " & strErrDesc & _
vbCrLf & "Module: " & strModuleSource & _
vbCrLf & "Procedure: " & strProcedureSource

MsgBox strMessage, vbCritical

End Sub
_________________________

I have in a Form's Module [Form_FA1_OrgMaster_All]:
_________________________
Private Sub cboOrgs_AfterUpdate()

On Error GoTo HandleError

' Populates a combo box on the Financial Reports subform with reports titles
for the Org just chosen

(((NOTE: the first subform name below is misspelled - not
....FinRpt..., rather ...FinRpts... - this sets up an error to test Error
Handler)))

Me.subfrmctrlFinRpt!cboIS_BySrv_List = Null
Me.subfrmctrlFinRpts!cboIS_BySrv_List.Requery

... More Code ...

Exit Sub

HandleError:
Dim strPrcdrName As String
strPrcdrName = "cboOrgs_AfterUpdate"
Dim strModName As String
strModName = Application.CurrentObjectName

Call GenErrHand(Err.Number, Err.Description, strModName, strPrcdrName)

Exit Sub

End Sub
_________________________
When I tested (with the Immediate Window) the Error Handler with a procedure
in the Standard Module that would create an error, it "worked". That is, it
produced the Message Box I want.

But when I test it with the set up above (chosing an Organization in the
Combo Box on the form), instead of getting the Message Box I want, I get
"Compile Error: Method or data member not found" - which is obviously the
regular VBA Message Box.

Why don't I get the Message Box from my Error Handler? Thanks

In options make sure you don't have error handling set to "Break on all errors".
It should be "Break on unhandled errors".

errors".

It should be "Break on unhandled errors".

Rick - In the VBA editor, Tools/Options-General-Error Trapping is indeed set
to "Break on Unhandled Errors". John D
