Hi,

Yes, System.Exception is the highest level of exception. From there, you
can catch specific exceptions such as ODBCException.

So, if you go:

Try

'Blah

Catch e as Exception

End Try

It'll catch any exception that occurs in the Try block.
 
But you can also trap for more than one kind of exception and if you are
doing this, be sure to trap for the system.exception LAST since every
exception is a form of an exception.
