SimplyVBA Global Error Handler special offer

Wayne Phillips from EverythingAccess recently sent us mail announcing a special for our blog readers:

The product, SimplyVBA Global Error Handler, offers a revolutionary way of catching VBA errors on a global scale throughout your project without having to make any changes to your existing code. Once initialized, the product routes all errors that occur in your project to your defined VBA subroutine where you can then determine how to handle the error (e.g. continue on to a local handler, ignore the error, halt execution etc).

Main features;

  • Examine the VBA call stack to determine the procedure / module name that caused the error (and all preceding calls in the call stack).
  • Determine the exact line of error from within your global error 
  • Handling subroutine (with automatic line numbering) Iterate through all the variable names and live values in each of the procedures in the call stack and easily dump them to a file or table.

This product works for all versions of Access from 2000 upwards and for all file formats (MDB, MDE, ACCDB, ACCDE, ADP, ADE) and includes a detailed online manual.

The product is in the form of a single DLL and comes in two editions - "Developer edition" and "Distributable edition". The Developer edition is free for evaluation use but not for re-distribution. The Distributable edition requires no end-user installation (apart from just putting the DLL in the same folder as your Access application).

There are further benefits for when your end-users use the runtime edition of Access since you can now catch all unhandled errors and deal with them which then prevents the runtime version of Access from automatically closing.

  • This is an excellent product. I've been using it for 2 or 3 months now and am truly impressed. Once you have got it up and running, it makes coding considerable neater and simpler. Most of my procedures now have no specific error-handling code in them because SimplyVBA picks up any errors directly. In case anyone is interested, I talked about it in a presentation I did to the UK Access User Group (download presentation and sample database from www.ukaugcommunity.co.uk/.../AllItems.aspx).

  • SimplyVBA Global Error Handler is the best Tool for Microsoft Access Developers. It helps to build better and secure Microsoft Access Applications. This tool also helps you to get valuable informations from your Clients when errors occurs.

    I use this tool some month in Micosoft Access 2003 Applications and it works realy good. If anyone is interested - especially for German - I wrote an article about this tool at my blog:

  • I´d like to recommend the product to all serious Access developers - it helps during development with enhanced information about runtime errors, status of variables a.s.o., but the best thing to me is the ability to catch EVERY error even in your runtime version, but you do not need special error handling in every sub or function - so you´re always on the secure side. And last but not least - the support is very fast and Wayne is really a nice guy!

  • Great Tool, nice for debugging my apps in the real world and show where the error raise. It shows me the error Line Number and i can look where the error happed. The support is really fast. A great Access Tool Developer from a little ISV in Austria (Europa)

  • Great product! I dreamed that VBA had something similar from the very beginning...

  • Thank you Clint, for posting this :) Thanks to everyone above for your kind comments. Without you guys giving great feedback, this product wouldn't be half of what it is today. I've had a few questions by e-mail asking how long this offer is valid. To clarify, this offer will be available until 30th June 2009 to those of you that are interested but have not yet purchased.
