Mayayana,

Whut?   The fact that the above command actually does clear the error value 
is something my offered method *depends* on.

However, I would have liked it if the "on error goto 0" *disabeling* of the 
error catching wouldn't reset the error object.   So an error status could 
easily be checked afterwards.

Re-read the subject line please.   Initializing the error number to 
something else than the default zero value enables the OP to detect if an 
error handler/catcher was invoked at some point (which is not exactly what 
the OP asked, but seems to be good enough for him).

What makes you think its unsupported ?     And why/how do you think it 
worries me ?    It didn't even cross my mind.

The only thing that happened there is that I (re?)learned something: I'm 
allowed to change the error value (and possibly the description and other 
properties too) to whatever I want.   Which could be usefull.
