Complete list of run time errors

D

David

Does any know if there has been a complete list of all
possible run time errors for Access? If there is such a
list please reply with the way to obtain it.

It may be hoping to much, but a list of run time errors
along with possible causes and solutions would be top
notch.

Thanks,
David

From the Help file:

The following procedure creates a table containing many of the error codes
and strings used or reserved by Microsoft Access and by the Microsoft Jet
database engine. Not all error codes are included in the resulting table, as
some exist outside the range of error codes evaluated by this procedure (0
to 4500).

Function AccessAndJetErrorsTable() As Boolean
Dim dbs As Database, tdf As TableDef, fld As Field
Dim rst As Recordset, lngCode As Long
Dim strAccessErr As String
Const conAppObjectError = "Application-defined or object-defined error"

On Error GoTo Error_AccessAndJetErrorsTable
' Create Errors table with ErrorNumber and ErrorDescription fields.
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set tdf = dbs.CreateTableDef("AccessAndJetErrors")
Set fld = tdf.CreateField("ErrorCode", dbLong)

tdf.Fields.Append fld
Set fld = tdf.CreateField("ErrorString", dbMemo)
tdf.Fields.Append fld

dbs.TableDefs.Append tdf
' Open recordset on Errors table.
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("AccessAndJetErrors")
' Loop through error codes.
For lngCode = 0 To 3500
On Error Resume Next
' Raise each error.
strAccessErr = AccessError(lngCode)
DoCmd.Hourglass True
' Skip error numbers without associated strings.
If strAccessErr <> "" Then

' Skip codes that generate application or object-defined errors.
If strAccessErr <> conAppObjectError Then
' Add each error code and string to Errors table.
rst.AddNew
rst!ErrorCode = lngCode
' Append string to memo field.
rst!ErrorString.AppendChunk strAccessErr
rst.Update
End If
End If
Next lngCode
' Close recordset.
rst.Close
DoCmd.Hourglass False
RefreshDatabaseWindow
MsgBox "Access and Jet errors table created."

AccessAndJetErrorsTable = True

Exit_AccessAndJetErrorsTable:
Exit Function

Error_AccessAndJetErrorsTable:
MsgBox Err & ": " & Err.Description
AccessAndJetErrorsTable = False
Resume Exit_AccessAndJetErrorsTable
End Function

Thank you very much.
