Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this question, I hope you can help!
I have a LiveCycle ES 4 form connected to an excel database. The form has buttons to "Add", "Update" or "Find" a record. These buttons all work correctly EXCEPT when the server drive that has the Excel file is not available. In this case I wanted to add code the "Add" button informing the user that there is an error. I tried adding a try/catch block before the SQL statement that inserts a record into excel but even when I purposely make the Excel file unavailable the try/catch block doesn't seem to work. The javascript console will show an error but try/catch doesn't seem to trigger. If I had a javascript syntax error within the try/catch block, it works as expected, but with the database connected form, it appears the try/catch block does not trigger based on errors generated as a result of the database file having an issue. In this case, the console just shows a "GeneralError: Operation failed." message. Why doesn't the try/catch block trigger since there is an error as stated on the console? Is there a work around? Thanks again for your help!!
