Err Object Members
The Err object contains properties whose values are determined by the error that just occurred. The Number property contains the cause of the error, and the Description property contains a text message that describes the error in detail. Helpfile and HelpContext allow you to display a related help file when a user presses the Help button or the F1 key. LastDLLError displays the last DLL called and whether or not the call was successful. Source specifies a string expression representing the object or application that generated the error.
