… and, what is the best way of ensuring that a project always captures any error instead of just failing? I guess that would be with Try | Catch? What we need is for the project when called by FBCMD to always pass back a return value (eg. 0 or 1) for success/failure regardless of what might have broken within the project. How’s it done?   
  
 Thanks in advance,   
 Clive

Hi Clive,   
  
 Try…Catch is the way to do it.   
  
 FBCMD returns a 1 if the project failed, 0 if it succeeded, and various other codes if internal errors occur. There’s a full list under “Exit Codes” in the Index.   
  
 Regards,
