The COMException is the code I added. Up until now I had not translated the Python exceptions into COMExceptions.

The original code is meant to run on any supported OS. It's just normal Python. I do my development work using Linux. The COM object is created by simply using a module to wrap the application into a COM object using the pywin32 services. Up until now, the Python exceptions with their error messages simply percolated up to the VB GUI. > How are you throwing the original?

The core application is around 14,000 lines of code. The wrapper module to turn it into a COM object for deployment in Windows is just under 600 lines. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://dlslug.org/library.html http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug&sort=stamp http://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/dlslug _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
