object.Description [= stringexpression]
The Description property syntax has these parts:
Part Description object Required. Always the Err object. stringexpression Optional. A string expression containing a description of the error.
The Description property comprises a short description of the error. Use this property to alert the user to an error that you cannot or do not want to handle. When generating a user-defined error, assign a short description of your error to this property. If Description isn't filled in, and the value of Number corresponds to a VBScript run-time error, the string returned by the Error function is placed in Description when the error is generated.
