Any ways to force the Program to halt? - basic.visual

Assuming I understand what you are trying to do, if you put the statement:
On Error Goto 0
After the "Close" statement it will turn off error handling and allow the
code to break on any line producing an error during development. Depending
of course on the options you have set for error handling.

Actually, the 3 lines

Line Input #f1, strJustStr1
Input #f1, intTime, intDay
Line Input #f1, strJustStr2

are supposed to function as check and cause the function to halt e.g. if
strJustStr1 or strJustStr2 are not string or if intTime or intDay are not
integer. However, I have put in the On Error Goto statement, which now
prevents the intended check. No matter what value I give to these numbers,
the function just ignores them and jump to the NotWritten statement.

I am now wondering if there are any integers which I can supply to
intTime/intDay to cause the function to halt when it executes these
statement.

Any help?
