Property

FolderItem.LastErrorCode

---

Warning

This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use IOException as a replacement.

Description

Contains the error code for the last supported operation on the FolderItem. LastErrorCode will be set for any error.

Notes

To determine which error code was returned in the LastErrorCode property, you can test it against one of the FolderItem error constants. They are given in the following table:

Error Code	Constant	Description
0	NoError	{Newinversion|2005r1}}
100	DestDoesNotExistError	Destination does not exist. You will get this error only on CopyFileTo and MoveFileTo.
101	FileNotFound	The File was not found.
102	AccessDenied	Access was denied.
103	NotEnoughMemory	You ran out of memory.
104	FileInUse	The file is in use.
105	InvalidName	You used an Invalid name.

LastErrorCode may also return operating system-specific error codes if the error does not map to one of the above errors. These codes may have values less than 0. For more information about OS-specific codes, check here: * Windows: Error Codes at MSDN * MacOS: Use the macerror command in Terminal to find a description of an error. For example: macerror -49 which displays: Mac OS error -49 (opWrErr): file already open with write permission In addition you can check the older Mac OS System Error Codes, which are can still be useful since LastErrorCode uses older Carbon error codes. * Linux: C Error Codes in Linux

Sample code

This code displays the error code if an error occurred.

Dim f As New FolderItem
f = GetOpenFolderItem("text/plain")
If f.LastErrorCode <> 0 Then
  MsgBox(Str(f.LastErrorCode))
End If
