Hi there,

I need, once again, your help :

I have a function that does a calculation that might be infinity, and I
would like to catch that error in order to return something else to the
calling function, well that's easy using Check.

The problem is that I continue to get the messages on the screen and I
would like to eliminate them.

But using Off[message] before the Check also deactivates the Check! (Check
only treats messages that are displayed).

How can I deactivate the messages and still catch the errors, or must I
suffer 2 pages of errors any time I use this function??

Thank you for your attention.
