The Err object contains properties whose values are determined by the error that just occurred. The Number property contains the cause of the error, and the Description property contains a text message that describes the error in detail. Helpfile and HelpContext allow you to display a related help file when a user presses the Help button or the F1 key. LastDLLError displays the last DLL called and whether or not the call was successful. Source specifies a string expression representing the object or application that generated the error.
