Every once in a while a user comes to the support and tells us "I have a message on my screen" it says "Entry in Index not found" can you please solve this.
 
What i would like to see is an error message with a tiny little bit more information about what is heading in the wrong direction here.
 
It would be nice to see which index was meant and what entry the application was trying to find in that index.
 
Something like "Entry 'Ineedtofindthisvalue' not found in Index 'whateverindexwascurrentlysearched'.

Hmm, are you talking about the error that is induced by poor coding or other "Entry not found" problems?

e.g.

DB:= ReplicaID;
View:= "vwLookup";
clients := @DbColumn( "" : "NoCache" ; DB ; View ; 2 );
@If(@IsError(Clients); "Problem looking up data in " + DB + " view " + View; @Unique(clients))

vs.

DB:= ReplicaID;
View:= "vwLookup";
Clients := @DbColumn( "" : "NoCache" ; DB ; View ; 2 );
Clients

No i m not talking about this. I am talking about those problems where you have a system that works and suddenly the index goes corrupt.

Despite of that i would love to see it also in those cases you mention, because it would give the admin and the user a little hint about the real problem. They might smack the developer down for not coding right later on, but it would simply save a lot of time.

And what about the possibility to show the call-tree too? Sometimes you wish that you know what function was used and from where.
