VBSCript: on error …

VBScript has two statements that influence error handling:

• on error goto 0
• on error resume next

If on error goto 0 is in effect, a runtime error causes the application to terminate and print an error message. This is the default behaviour.

Setting on error resume next does not stop a program when a runtime error occurs. In order to detect errors, the err object needs to be queried after each statement that is supsected to cause a runtime error.
