Hi :slight_smile:

You can use the “try” statement, for exemple :


on run
	try
		display dialog "Hello :-)" & return & "How are you ?" buttons {"Heu...", "Good !!!"} with icon 1
		--The error command for stopping the script
		if button returned of the result is "Heu..." then error "Ho... sorry :/"
	on error MsgErr
		--Here the alternative code or subroutine
		my Dlg(MsgErr)
	end try
end run

on Dlg(Txt)
	display dialog Txt with icon 2
end Dlg

:wink:

Maybe a “repeat until” statement will work…
