VBScript eqivalent to TRY..CATCH 1

[safaritek]

I am looking for an equivalent to JavaScript's "TRY ... CATCH" functionality.

My project is a web based VBScript application and I need it to perform a datasave as part of a separate set of VB functions during a button press.

The only snippet I could find to do the data save was a JavaScript snippet that uses TRY..CATCH - according to my VBScript help, there is no TRY command available. (and of course I cannot call a JavaScript function from within VBScript, otherwise there would not be any issue)

The JavaScript I need to convert to VBScript is as follows:

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
Function SaveData(){
  try { if (MSODSC.DataPages.Count > 0)
      if (MSODSC.CurrentSection == null)
	   MSODSC.DataPages(0).Save();
      else
	   MSODSC.CurrentSection.DataPage.Save(); }
  catch (e)
  { alert (e.description);}
}
</SCRIPT>

Any and all help is appreciated.

safarietk,

It is something like this.
[tt]
try {
//do a,b,c
} catch(e) {
//do x,y,z instead
}
[/tt]
can be rendered as this
[tt]
on error resume next
'do a,b,c
if err.number<>0 then
'do x,y,z instead
err.clear
end if
on error goto 0
[/tt]
Of course, the tighter the task (a,b,c) the better the focus of the control.

Depends on where you're using VBScript. In an ASP web page, it often won't work because of the way the scripting engines are used to process things. In a WSH page, I thought I remembered reading in the documentation that you can use and mix any number of scripting languages that are WSH compatible.
