Try blocks within a finally behave unexpectedly. Code after the Finally inter Try - End never gets executed. See example below. Running 6.3.0.1472. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Try

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Action(s) - _ **failure happens somewhere in here!** _

Finally

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Action1

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Try

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Action(s)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cleanup of Action1 - This needs to always execute, but I dread placing this in an outermost end block.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; End - We jump from this end&nbsp;to the final end. Why? This should only end the most recent Try block.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Actions - _ **These never get executed** _

End

Hi Matt

Thanks Vincent!

I tested the patched version this morning and nested try/finally now works as exepected.

Thanks for the ultra-quick reply/fix!
