Err object being reset and returning err.number = 0

Hello,

I am experiencing an odd and intermittent problem with a COM addin that I've built. I have seen this problem once before in a Word global template.

Imagine code structured like the following pseudo-code:

  Sub Something
      On Error Goto ErrorHandler
      
      ' routine goes here

  ErrorHandler:
      
      If err.number <> 0 then
          ErrorMessage err
      end if
  End Sub

  Sub ErrorMessage(byval objErr as ErrObject)
      msgbox "Error: " & objErr.Number & vbcr & "Description: " & objErr.Description
  End Sub
    
If the above routine causes an error, the message box returned reveals "Error: 0", i.e. no error, but this is not possible because otherwise, the ErrorMessage routine would not be called.

I resolved this once before by passing in the err.number & err.description values as opposed to the err object itself. It was as if the OS was losing its thread to the err object.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Regards,

TC
