    Lightbulb Logging Errors

    Hi,



    I'm curious if there is a simple way to log errors when a front end file crashes, fails to connect to the backend, or when bugs in my VBA code pop up?

    I would like to be able to track any exceptions thrown in general so that I can have a better idea of how well my database solution is performing and where improvements need to be made.

    This question is intentionally a bit broad because I'm just starting to explore what kind of error logging options are available. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    since you are exploring ideas - look to the bottom of this thread where similar questions have been asked

    Also google your question - perhaps something like 'access vba error log' or similar

    A good starting point is the Access crash reporter by the Smiley Coder. See https://thesmileycoder.com/crash-reporter/
    I use a similar system but with automatic emails sent 'silently' to the developer with full details of the logged error.
