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()
    Debug.Print "...===...beginning of program....===..." & Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.ms")
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    fileString = "Doc doesn't exist.doc"
    Debug.Print "fileString is " & fileString
    Set objDoc = Documents.Open(fileName:=fileString)
    ErrHandler:
    On Error GoTo -1  '  clear error
    '  https://www.fmsinc.com/free/newtips/VBA/ErrorHandling/LineNumber.html
    Debug.Print "--- error --- "
    boxTheMsg = "While processing document " & strFile & "   An error occured ." & vbCrLf4
    boxTheMsg = boxTheMsg & "Error Line: " & Erl & vbCrLf
    boxTheMsg = boxTheMsg & "Error: (" & Err.Number & ") " & Err.Description
    Debug.Print "boxTheMsg is " & boxTheMsg
    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.
