Re: theApp->Exit() causing invalid page fault
You may have to put your call to exit outside the catch block.
At the end of the catch block, the exception cleanup tasks are performed, such as destructor calls etc. So the page fault may be due to things being done out of order.
One suggestion on this: In a GUI app, in general catching an error shouldn't close the GUI interface. Usually you want the user to handle the "end the application" task explicitly. Display the error message, and suggest to the user what to do next. In this design, you wouldn't have the Exit call here, and the problem would be sidestepped.

Subject: theApp->Exit() causing invalid page fault
| I'm getting annoying errors on calling theApp->Exit() and wonder if anyone
| can put me straight. In a command window I attempt to open my database. If
| an exception is thrown I do this ...
|
| catch(otl_exception& p)
|
| // intercept OTL exceptions
| vNoticeDialog note(this);
| note.Notice((char*)p.msg);
| note.Notice("Failed to open database");
| theApp->Exit();
| }
|
| The Exit function just does the default ...

| vApp::Exit(); // Default behavior

| Normal exits work fine.
