Is there anyway to do a screen capture on an event that causes a scripting error message to appear? I have a button that takes a screen image of the screen that then emails the image but it doesn’t capture the error.

I think the tricky part is that the script errors are captured in an errorbox that can be minimized. You can configure the gateway to enable error reporting so a user could “submit” the exception error to you via email.

Would that work?

Yes, that solution would work. Thanks.
