SnowMore Delete fails without triggering an error
When a user has insufficient privileges to delete a record -- say, an opportunity owned by someone else -- the delete fails but there's no error message. The following code is straight out of the Office Tolkit VB code sample:
On Error GoTo handleError
Dim MyOppObject(1) As SObject3
Set MyOppObject(0) = g_sfApi.CreateObject("opportunity")
MyOppObject(0)("id") = MyID
g_sfApi.Delete MyOppObject, False
But no error is triggered when the delete fails due to insufficient privileges.
MsgBox MyOppObject(0).Error
MsgBox MyOppObject(0).ErrorMessage
return error code 0 and an empty string for error message, regardless of whether the object was successfully deleted or not.
Any ideas on how to trap this condition?
The problem is no longer opccurring now that I have upgraded to Office Toolkit 4.0 (from 3.0). That is, now the delete is working. So I don't know whether a failed delete will generate an error message, but the delete itself seems to be working as it should.

Since I posted the above "solution" I have discovered some serious problems with Toolkit 4.0, which is probably why the wiki managers put 3.0 back up there in some places and 4.0 was so hard to find.
In particular, I find that creating a new Task fails frequently, and often crashes my app. I run the same code in Toolkit 3 and there's no problem. So, from my admittedly limited perspective, I do not recommend the upgrade to Toolkit 4.0 at this time. I have spent hours spinning my wheels with it, and I'm going back to 3.0.
