We found the best way is to have all the logic in databasic. Call a subroutine to return the data you want. This can be tested before it is used within VB.

Once the data is found a IE html document is displayed to screen. We keep the date in the record id, so a record written today would first try the PRINT.TODAY file, then the PRINT.HIST.0608 (which does not get created until after 5 pm on the first business day of the month), then the INTERIM.LETTERS file. Each night after 5 pm all data in the file PRINT.TODAY is moved to current month year file. Tonight it would be the PRIINT.HIST.0608 file, normally it would find that the file isn't there and create it. On the first business day of the month, this file has not yet been created and when the process gets to that file something is happening that causes the next file INTERIM.LETTERS to be skipped. When they decided the problem must be that the file is not there yet and had me create the file, the problem went away. Our VB programmers say they have checked every error they can think of and the process is not returning an error that they can recognize. What error would be returned when a program tries via UV Objects to read a file that does not exist?
