I've seen error lists appear in the message box too
I've seen that sometimes as well, but don't have a repeatable recipe. I
just always assume it's something screwy with my code.

//@Dan: Do you have a custom errorDialog handler in your message path?
I do not.

When you build a standalone there's an option to report errors in an email
or a file. The purpose is to allow users to send error info to the
developer. These are raw error messages like Dan saw and are of no use to
the user, so translating them makes no sense.
But you're right that new users
True, but what would anyone go out of their way to write an error
handler that provides less useful information than what LC provides if
left alone?
And some of the error info I see shared in the forums is from newer
users, who seem unlikely to have ventured into the relatively arcane
world
If there's an errorDialog handler, errors bypass the IDE. That's one way it
could happen.

From a plugin Richard and I wrote some years ago. It dynamically loads the error list based on
the version of LC you're using. You can look up individual codes, or paste

1. Why didn't the debugger throw an error? Instead, it put this error chunk in

Dunno. I can't replicate your experience. Somewhat higher in your stack
or in the message path?
If I try this on my system with an invalid sTime value

The error texts are in a global property, but there's a definite
catch22ness involved because you have to know it's there
Mark and Jacque,
Thank you for your assistance. There was invalid data in sTime.
Interestingly, it wasn't from the data I was loading... it was old data coming
from a reference to an array in a datagrid. Setting the datagrid's Persistent
Data to false resolved the problem.

Mark,
THANK YOU for the reply... Line 2185 is:
put sTime + ((timeOffset*60)*60) into sTime
That's what I thought. The error you're getting (see Jacque's annotated
list) is pointing to an invalid value for sTime in some iteration of
that
