Additional information may be available using the global Err object, which can be accessed using the API function GetErrorInfo. In particular, the GetDescription method of the IErrorInfo interface may return a text description of the error.
[Visual Basic]
Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.
Remarks
The expression store must be empty in order to import expressions.
The import file must contain the XML schema for the expression recordset followed by the XML representation of each expression recordset. Expression recordsets with invalid expression bodies are imported but will cause an error upon evaluation.
Use the Export method to copy the XML schema for the expression recordset and all the expressions from the expression store to a file.
Call the Connect method before calling the Import method.
Example
' oExpressionStore is an ExpressionStore object connected to
' a valid expression store.
oExpressionStore.Import "\SomePath\Expressions.xml"
