How To Make Custom Error Messages
information is also available as a PDF download. When capturing and handling errors, you probably think of the Err object, which stores information about the current run-time error. If a form or report encounters an error, you'll find the information you need in an event — the object's Error event to be exact. By default, Access handles action errors without any help from you. On occasion, you might find you want a little more control. When that's the case, take matters into your own hands by usurping the object's Error event. About the Error event Both forms and reports sometimes generate action errors, such as trying to delete a record protected by referential integrity or trying to add a new record without filling in required fields. When this happens, Access displays a predefined warning message that's usually adequate. But if you prefer, you can take charge of the event and force it to do the following: Inhibit the internal message D

See solution in other versions of Access: Access 2007 Access 2003 Question: In Microsoft Access 2007, I have a form that is linked to an Oracle table. When I enter duplicate data, I receive an error message "ODBC - failed... Unique Constraint violated...". Is it possible to define a custom message to https://www.techonthenet.com/access/forms/custom_error2007.php replace the system error message whenever the primary key is violated? (ie: duplicate record) Answer: Yes, you can override the system error messages with your own messages. In your case, you want to place code on the Form's On Error event. For example, you could place the following code on the Form's On Error event to trap the primary key violation: Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 3022 Then MsgBox ("You have violated the primary key.") Response = 0 End If End Sub Now, whenever a user tries to enter a record that violates the primary key, the following error message will appear: Share this page: Advertisement Back to top Home | About Us | Contact Us | Testimonials | Donate While using this site, you agree to have read and accepted our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Share your bits of IT knowledge by writing an article on Bytes. Custom Error Messages in Access Expert 100+ P: 184 hyperpau Before anything else, I am not a very technical expert when it comes to VBA coding. I learned most of what I know by https://bytes.com/topic/visual-basic/insights/830828-custom-error-messages-access the excellent Access/VBA forum from bytes.com (formerly thescripts.com). Ergo, I will be writing this article intended for those who are in the same level, or maybe lower, of my technical knowledge. I would be using layman's words, or maybe, my own words as how I understand them, hoping, you will understand it the same way that I do. TYPES OF ERRORS We need to understand that there are different types of errors in MS-Access and I am not fully aware of the real technical names of these errors, error message but from my experience, I only, most of the time, encounter two types of errors that I always trap and make customer error messages for. I would like to refer to these errors as 1) Form Errors, 2 ) Sub Procedure Errors. * Form Errors I call this Form Errors because these errors normally occur during form validation. Meaning, there is no actual Sub Procedure or VBA code executed for the error to be triggered. This errors are triggered by either a form or a control losing focus, or custom error messages a form or control being updated. There are a lot of possible causes but to name a few, here are the common examples. * A field set as Indexed (No Duplicates) but a duplicate value has been supplied. * The field is set to Required but no data has been entered for that field * The field has been set with an Input Mask but the data entered does not match the Input Mask requirements There are other examples but these are the most common ones I normally trap errors for. This classifies under Form Errors because there is no specific button clicked, or procedure called for the error to be triggered. Most of the time, this can be triggered by moving to the next, or a new, record, or by moving focus from a Main Form to its subform. Both actions causes the record to be updated or saved, thus, if there are validation requirements, such errors are triggered. * Sub Procedure Errors I call this Sub Procedure Errors bec from most projects I make, these errors are triggered by executing a code in vba, whether I programmed the codes myself, or used the Wizard to create it for me. This is the reason why I also call this Button errors because most of the time (not all), I put sub procedure vba codes on the On Click event of a button. The errors are triggered almost exactly by the same validation reasons as the mentioned above with the Form Errors, only that it is not necessarily that the record is updated by
