Aha, I think I know what you mean.

Do you see that Debug window is thrown forward and some words about
Exception ?

This is NORMAL

And you see Debuger window because you REALbasic have ON
Option "Stop on Exception throw".

Disable this option in the menu Debug.

Run project again. Now you will not be stopped.


---------
And please read again carefully LOGIC of this function.
I believe text of tutorial SAYS that open() can throw exception.
This means that db file is absent.

Then we go into CATCH section and create db file on disk.


-----------
I think you are not used yet to conception of EXCEPTIONS.
Am I right ?

This is OO feature. It present in C++, Java, REALbasic.

Read RB docs about this for details
