How to bind asynch method exception messages back to WF?

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Jocelyn,
That would be far too simple :) We were trying to make use of the standard
method is BUS2081.PRELIMINARYPOST, which raises a single exception and
passes the application error message text back in it's variables.
In keeping with the FAQ, I suppose I should post our solution: we copied
the code into a custom synch method with a return parameter containing any
error message.
Thanks for the tip about the event with parameter though, I like it.
Cheers
Mike
