Hi, Tom.
Is there a place where I can see how Error numbers are
defined ?
You can create your own table listing all of the error numbers and the error
descriptions. Pasted here from the Access 97 Help topic (with
disambiguation for the DAO library for later versions of Access, but you'll
still need to set a Reference to DAO 3.6 to use this function in Access 2K
and later):
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 DAO.Field
Dim rst As DAO.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
' **** End code section ****
HTH.
