Number Property (Err Object)
Gets or sets a numeric value that specifies an error. Read/write.
Public Property Number() As Integer
Remarks
When returning a user-defined error from an object, set Err.Number by adding the number you selected as an error code to the VbObjectError constant. For example, you use the following code to return the number 1051 as an error code:
Err.Raise(Number:=vbObjectError + 1051, Source:="SomeClass")
Example
This example illustrates a typical use of the Number property in an error-handling routine. The Description property is also used in the example in order to provide a description of the error.
' Typical use of Number property.
Sub test()
On Error GoTo out
Dim x, y As Integer
x = 1 / y ' Create division by zero error.
Exit Sub
out:
MsgBox(Err.Number)
MsgBox(Err.Description)
' Check for division by zero error.
If Err.Number = 11 Then
y = y + 1
End If
Resume Next
End Sub
