Eventtracking during runtime

[longda]

Is there any way to use 'set eventtracking' or something like it during runtime to create a very simple log file. I am having some problems using createobject() when instantiating a form. Some of the controls bomb out at the init event which causes an error 'can't instantiate object' and my form never comes up. I am not sure why this happens because it only occurs once in a while not all the time, and I have no idea on what control's init event it is occuring.

Thanks in advance
Dave L.

When you compile your exe, set the debug info on. And when the error message pops, agree to record the error in the apperror table. Then go visit the table, to see what VFP says the error is. Mike Gagnon

I have debug info on in the project properties dialog box. When the error happens my on error prg is fired and I never see where I can agree to record the error in the apperror table. Where is this apperror table after the error happens.
Also I am building an app not an exe if this helps.

Thanks

It's because you are using your own ON ERROR scheme. Try setting off the see if VFP's will kick in.

I set error on to nothing. Now I get 'Error instantiating the object.' with buttons cancel, ignore, help. I have not received an option to record it. Am I missing any other settings that might cause this. Is there any other way to produce a log file of what is happening with out creating it myself. I only want to know what object init event this is happening on. When using the lineno() and program() as parameters for my on error it only returns the line number and program name of the program that calls the createobject function, not the line number or name of the event that is actually causing the error.

Thanks
