I just saw your execution error image, I haven't seen an empty dialog before. Did you include a prompt? I'll try a test tomorrow. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On November 11, 2020 12:55:22 AM "J. Landman Gay via

Sorry, I meant execution errors. You're supposed to read my mind. I keep telling my husband that but he doesn't always get it either. ;) I've used the built-in error reporting mechanism in the past and it worked well; I usually choose the email option and it works on both deaktop and mobile.

Yes, I had my part of the code handy from my custom error handling. But at the time it seemed to me the tool was for edge cases where one might encounter raw error data with no UI. It never occurred to me to ship an application without error handling, and back then I'd never used LC's so I

That should work, I don't see anything in those three lines that would fail -- except maybe if "the fontnames" couldn't be retrieved on that machine. It almost looks like the engine thinks "the fontnames" is a custom function since it's reporting it can't find the handler. I'm not sure how
