- Can someone give me a really detailed report on error checking.
- I know that it would be good practice to error check everything.
- The question is what do you do in situations where an error
- occurs but your program is able to continue? Kinda crippled though.
- I mean for instance what should you do if your program is setup
- to handle appleevents and when you intialize the AppleEvents an
- error occurs. The program will still operate all right with
- out them installed, but the AE being present just adds a little bit
- more functionality to the program such as when the user issues
- a ShutDown command from the finder then the App will recieve a
- QuitApp command. Since the app failed to initialize the AE then
- it would just sit there waiting for the user to manually quit the
- app so the computer could continue to shutdown. Any ideas and
- suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Thanks
- Danny
