Clear Method

Clears all property settings of the Err object.

object.Clear 

The object is always the Err object.

Remarks

Use Clear to explicitly clear the Err object after an error has been handled. This is necessary, for example, when you use deferred error handling with On Error Resume Next. VBScript calls the Clear method automatically whenever any of the following statements is executed:

• On Error Resume Next
• Exit Sub
• Exit Function

The following example illustrates use of the Clear method.

On Error Resume Next
Err.Raise 6  ' Raise an overflow error.
MsgBox ("Error # " & CStr(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description)
Err.Clear    ' Clear the error.
