MS msg "Connection Closed Gracefully". Can I catch

As of yesterday I get a small message box (like syntax errors). It has Macro Scheduler in the top blue band, a red cross and the text "Connection Closed Gracefully" There is also an FTP status window open with the text "Disconnected". What does this mean?

And since we are on it, is there any way to catch these errors such as this one but also errors such as syntax error, parsing error etc?

Running MS 12.0.8 on XP

Set IGNOREERRORS to 1 and look at the individual return vars, e.g. FTP_RESULT for the FTP functions.

Thanks, that solves the FTP problem. B.t.w. the error was caused by an account that was switched off. I noticed that IGNOREERRORS works for complex expressions too.

Ignore errors does not solve my 'general' problem of syntax and other errors that might be caused by complex substitutions. Ignoring produces unreliable results. My solution now is leave ignore set to zero and have a watchdog DOS script checking whether my MS script is still running by checking the existence of a hart beat signal file.

What I am really looking for is something like a global 'on error call subroutine' or another solution like a 'has there been an error' variable. It would be great, if that a subroutine solution could 'call' a debug breakpoint too.
