As per your request, here is the copy of my code where the program err's out.
I'm working with Mac
OSX. If I step through, it does, indeed, get to the exception handling.
However, as I stated earlier, it
comes to a screeching halt at the indicated line, like it is trying to actually
read from the file.
===========================================
if file <>nil then 'is the file empty?
filereadfrom=file.OpenAsTextFile 'open as a text file
do
nameholding = filereadfrom.readline <------err's at this point
passwordholding=filereadfrom.readline
securitylevelholding = filereadfrom.readline
if editUserName.text=nameholding and editPassword.text=passwordholding
then
timerLogin.enabled = false 'disable the timer, cuz they've entered a
valid value
txtTimeRemaining.Visible=false 'hide the text for the countdown
txttimerval.Visible=false 'and hide the counder itself...
'going to have to change the quit to something else
winTroubleType.show
end if
loop until filereadfrom.eof
======================================================
I've tried it with file.exists and file <>nil and it still err's. (I have the
exception err msgbox at the end
of the program, where i was told it should be.
Regards.
