is DialoogBox a login dialog? If so, set LoginPrompt to False and your
exception handler will be triggered only by "real" errors. FWIW, I only
use the standard login dialog in the simplest internal applications; for
real application I usually have my own. This applies to IBO as well as a
ton of other connectivity components I use.
