Yes, indeed the exception message from DotNet is better. But nothing is easier than just throwing an @ERROR or @SERROR
after a line of Kix code to check the result.
So I have to agree with you on the fact that Kix is very friendly to handle and since I've been playing arround with Steelkix,
I started to appreciate Kix even more than I already did.

After working with Kix for about ten years now, Steelkix is a new challenge. Learning new stuff is always nice.

Just BoForce ;\)
