It has a kind of logic for the activator command (starting off with an "all 
ok" situation).  Not so much for the de-activator though.

I ran into it when I wanted to capture a single-line error and thought I 
could just wrap it in a pair of "on error resume next" / "on error goto 0" 
commands - and than see which error (if any) occurred.   I never seemed to 
get any, even though the command didn't perform (like trying to create a 
file in a non-existing folder).

Great!   Its so stupidly simple (when you know about it) that I wasn't quite 
sure it would be...

And to be honest about it, I wasn't even sure if I could actually change 
"err.number" until I tried it (would not have raised an eyebrow if it would 
have been a read-only property).
