You're not seeing that there was an error thrown because 'tError' would be set
to the error message; the code above is testing for it being true, before
deciding to display the message. But it won't be true it, it will be an
expression of the error. If you removed "if tError then", so always execute
the answer statement in the catch section, you should see the error message.

Hi Andy,
Yes, tMins has to have a value or the statement makes no sense because LC has no
context for what you are trying to do. LC doesn’t know if tMins is a string or
something else.

I seem to have my posts dropped at the moment hence this,
I'm seeing the same error
with
on mouseUp pMouseButton
put (tMins/60) into tMins
answer tMins
end mouseUp
button "Button": execution error at line 2 (Operators /: error in left
operand), char 1
Interestingly this
on mouseUp pMouseButton
try
put (tMins/60) into tMins
catch tError
if tError then answer "An Error Occurred;" && tError & return & "tMins ="
&& tMins
end try
end mouseUp
does NOT through an error or a catch error message
If however tMins is initialized then all works as expected
on mouseUp pMouseButton
put 20 into tMins
put (tMins/60) into tMins
answer tMins
end mouseUp
???
