This article was previously published under Q129440 SYMPTOMS
An ON ERROR routine with a RETRY is in an infinite loop. Pressing the ESC
key does not cancel execution of the RETRY.
CAUSE
The ON ERROR does not call a procedure. It is set as ON ERROR RETRY. When
the RETRY is executed, the error that prompted the ON ERROR has not been
corrected.
WORKAROUND
You can add a special case to the ON ERROR routine to handle cases where an
infinite loop might occur. If SET ESCAPE is ON, you can press the ESC key
when the procedure is executing, and execution will be canceled.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
