I haven't tried calling Execute on a button inside a try...catch block so I
have no idea about that, but in other event handlers you can't do certain
things and the normal workaround is to enable a timer and set a flag at the
end of the event handler code. When the timer fires it's disabled and the
flag checked and if set you then call the code you want, in your case the
Execute call. That might work for you.

Thanks Ken. Thats the approach we are trying to follow now (exception
handling in code). We are not able to put try..catch blocks in event
handlers
though, especially the ones that have an Execute statement on a button or
menu item. The Execute statement won't run if its within a try..catch
block.
Any idea why? Are we missing something?

thanks
