   I am sure that exception is being thrown. I have written the function   
   to throw the exception. Here is the code snippet from the library:   
      
   static bool DataClass::GetEvent(int id) const {   
       if (myEventType->id != id) {   
           throw std::logic_error(boost::str(boost::format("No such event   
   type id (%1%)") % id));   
       }   
       else {   
           return true;   
       }   
   }   
      
   My catch block in the main program is like:   
      
   try {   
   if(DataClass::GetEvent(Id))   
      std::cout << "\n ENABLED \n";   
   else   
      std::cout << "\n DISABLED \n";   
   }   
   catch(std::logic_error& e) {   
      std::cout<< "\n Exception caught = " << e.what();   
   }   
      
   When I put the catch block inside the library I do catch the   
   exception, it is only when I put it in the main program (outside the   
   library), that's when I fail to catch the exception.   
      
   Thanks,
