Auto-Error

Auto-Error is actually 2 applications in one. The Auto-Error VB Error Scripting Application is designed to process VB project files (forms, modules, etc.) to include line numbers on every line of code and add VB error headers and footers to every function, sub an property statement. The optional Auto-Error VB Error Handling Component can be referenced in your vb project/.exe and adds powerful internal visual basic error handling processing and diagnostics.

Together these 2 tools provide an advanced and efficient solution to the problem of processing vb errors in your applications.

New in current version - Post error information to your WEB server

If you want to make your Application able to post errors to web, you should only add initialization of 2 properties to class initialization module:
URL property (String value) - sets an URL of a page that will receive data from the application
PostAvailable property (Boolean) - sets whether Post button will be displayed on the Error reporting form

Sample Initial Values:
    .PostAvailable = True
    .URL = "http://localhost/bugs/report.asp"

Sibental.COM provides a full sample of system, which is able to store errors on the web server. System is written on ASP/VBScript, Database - Access 2000. Source can be found in Auto-Error home folder in subfolder "webbugs".
System consists of :

• bug_base.mdb - Access 2000 database for storing error data. This DB is simple: one table named tbl_bugs(id as AutoNumber, ErrDetail as Memo, AppInfo as Memo, SysInfo as Memo, submit_date as Date/Time)
• report.asp module - this module receives Error Data from applicatiopn and inserts it into the database. Note that in current version only 3 parameters are submitted by component: ErrDetail, AppInfo and SysInfo.
• bugs_grid.asp module - this module created to view your bug database online.
• bug.asp, page_top.asp, page_bottom.asp - these modules are auxiliary to bugs_grid.asp
• dbconnect.asp module - this module initializes database connection values. Basically, you should only modify strConn and state where MDB file is situated
  strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=DRIVE:\PATH\bug_base.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

Copy webbugs folder to your localhost wwwroot folder or publish it to remote server, then initialize URL value and PostAvailable properties and go ahead - your application is able to post error information to the web!
Feel free to modify this sample system the way you like!
