Access 2013 Error Handling
creating Microsoft Access Forms for your database application, there are many times when you may come across error messages when user interaction takes place. Some of the error messages in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff836345.aspx Microsoft Access may appear completely by surprise or at other times you may intend to have a specific error occur. Some of the standard error messages in Microsoft Access are not extremely user friendly, therefore it is wise if you can intercept these error messages and replace the standard Microsoft Access error message with a custom error message that http://www.databasedev.co.uk/custom-error-message.html will be easily understandable by your database application users. If you expect that a common error may be encountered in one of your Microsoft Access forms, then displaying an error message that displays the error and advises the user what is required to fix the problem will ensure that the database is much more user friendly. Here we will deal with how to replace the standard Microsoft Access message with one that you have created, which will respond to an error that the user makes in a form. This example will deal with ensuring that the user enters information in to a field or fields where the information has been specified as required data. We need to ensure that the event occurs when the users leaves the required field blank. Initially, we need to find out what error event occurs when we leave a required field blank in the form. To do this we need to cause the error to occur to find out the error number so that we can use this later
your bits of IT knowledge by writing an article on Bytes. Custom Error Messages https://bytes.com/topic/access/insights/622060-custom-error-messages Expert 5K+ P: 8,410 ADezii One of the most frequently asked questions here at TheScripts is: Can I replace Standard Access Error Messages with my own? The https://support.office.com/en-us/article/OnError-Macro-Action-942d771c-6c1c-4cb3-afb1-ce9289d81913 answer is yes under certain circumstances and it involves the placement of code in a Form's Error() Event and setting a specific Parameter to either 1 error message of 2 values. Many Errors occur while your Form is active and it is within this context that you can replace the standard Access behavior when these Errors occur with behavior that is a little friendlier to the User. As previously stated, by attaching code to the Error() Event of a Form, your Procedure access form error will be called whenever a Trappable Error occurs while the Form is running. The Syntax for the call is as follows: Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) __1. DataErr - contains the Error Number for the Error that just occurred. __2. Response - Allows you to specify how you want Access to handle the Error. If your code handles the Error to your satisfaction and you don't want Access to intervene or display its own message, place the value acDataErrContinue in Response. If you want Acces to display its own Error Message, place acDataErrDisplay in Response. The following code traps 4 Errors that might pop up. In each case, the procedure replaces the Standard Access Error Message with its own. If an Error occurs that it hadn't planned on, the Procedure just passes the responsibility back to Access: Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers PrivateSubForm_Error(DataErrAsInteger,ResponseAsInteger) ConstconErrDataValidation=3317 ConstconErrDataType=2113 ConstconErrDuplicateKey=3022 ConstconErrNullKey=3058 SelectCaseDataErr CaseconErrDataValidation,conErrDataType 'yourErrorMessagehere Response=acDataErrContinue CaseconErrDuplicateKey 'yourErrorMessagehere Response=acDataErrContinue CaseconErrNullKey 'yourErrorMessagehere Response=acDataErrContinue CaseEls

Which version do I have? More... You can use the OnError macro action in Access to specify what should happen when an error occurs in a macro. Note: The OnError macro action isn't available in Access web apps. Setting The OnError macro action has the following arguments. Action argument Description Go to Specify the general behavior that should occur when an error is encountered. Click the drop-down arrow and then click one of the following settings: Setting Description Next Access records the details of the error in the MacroError object but does not stop the macro. The macro continues with the next action. Macro Name Access stops the current macro and runs the macro that is named in the Macro Name argument. Fail Access stops the current macro and displays an error message. Macro Name If the Go to argument is set to Macro Name, type the name of the submacro to be used for error handling. The name you type must match a submacro name in the current macro; you can't enter the name of a different macro object. In the example below, the ErrorHandler sub macro is contained in the same macro object as the OnError macro action. This argument must be left blank if the Go to argument is set to Next or Fail. Note: The macro design window was changed in Access 2010. If you are using Access 2007, the name of the macro to be used for error handling must match a name in the Macro Name column of the current macro. Remarks The OnError macro action is usually placed at the beginning of a macro, but you can also place the action later in the macro. The rules established by the action will take effect whenever the action is run. If you set the Go to argument to Fail, Access behaves the same way it would if there were no OnError action in the macro. That is, if an error is encountered, Access stops the macro and displays a standard error message. The main use for the Fail setting is to turn off any error handling that you established earlier in a macro. Example The following macr
