Help on Word VBA On Error

[rccharles]

I create an on Error handler. I am trying to print out what the error was. I think I must have the variable names wrong. I'm not getting anything for Erl, Err.Number and Err.Description

macOS 10.10.5. Word 2011 14.7.3 (170325) MS Visual Basic Version 14.7.3 (170325)

Here is my code:

Sub testErrorCode()
10       Debug.Print "...===...beginning of program....===..." & Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.ms")
340     On Error GoTo ErrHandler

350     fileString = "Doc doesn't exist.doc"
360     Debug.Print "fileString is " & fileString
370     Set objDoc = Documents.Open(fileName:=fileString)

   
ErrHandler:
        On Error GoTo -1  '  clear error

        '  https://www.fmsinc.com/free/newtips/VBA/ErrorHandling/LineNumber.html
630     Debug.Print "--- error --- "
640     boxTheMsg = "While processing document " & strFile & "   An error occured ." & vbCrLf4
650     boxTheMsg = boxTheMsg & "Error Line: " & Erl & vbCrLf
670     boxTheMsg = boxTheMsg & "Error: (" & Err.Number & ") " & Err.Description
680     Debug.Print "boxTheMsg is " & boxTheMsg
690     MsgBox boxTheMsg, vbCritical
        
End Sub

Here is what I see on the output.

...===...beginning of program....===...18/07/2018 16:42:31.731
fileString is Doc doesn't exist.doc
--- error --- 
boxTheMsg is While processing document    An error occured .Error Line: 0
Error: (0)

See the attachment the uncaught message and what I got with the on error statement.

You haven't supplied the path to the document.

I'm trying to get the error handler to work, so of course I supplied an invalid document address.
