In FoxPro you could simply create a handler which got triggered by errors then check an internal code for what the most recent error was, then make a switch statement to handle all the pertinent errors for your project. The normal error message display was suppressed so that the developer could present a message of his own and then act accordingly. For example, database connection errors could drop into a repeat loop asking the user to try again or quit. I think this would be a preferable method to try/catch because all your error code could be consolidated into one place.
I suppose you could still do this by wrapping all your code in a try catch construct, then calling your error function, but then the debugger would not stop at the line producing the error, making you have to do a little detective work to find which line caused the fartup.
