Custom Exception Messages

[cpmasesa]

Hi,

I am writing a database app with D6 and Access2k using ADO.

Sometimes when i attempt to delete or post a record through the application i get an exception.

i would like to respond with my custom messages depending on the exception:
1. missing required fields,
2. missing master table record,
3. dependent records in other table

How do i get the exception type (?), the table that caused the exception and the reason fro the exception so that i can then write my own message to respond to the exception?

TIA

If you havnt already look at the try / except construct using this you can trap exceptions and display your own message in the except part.
If you look in the help on try/except you will also find information on how to obtain the exception information.
