exception handling

[prithaa]

Hello, I am using CDatabase 's pen function t pen a database .Now I want to flag a message if the database desn't exist or it is not opening. CDatabase::Open() does not return true r false so tried using try catch throw but the control does not go to catch part of the above block What do I do ? I did the following try { if (!CurrentDatabase.IsOpen()) CurrentDatabase.Open(_T(DatabaseName),FALSE,FALSE,_T("ODBC;")); } catch (CFileException* e) { AfxMessageBox("Check your Database"); throw; } Regards Prithaa

As far as I am aware, CDatabase class will throw a Database exception (CDBException) and not CFileException.
