Default Substitute user message for system error or warning

There are often times when I would like to issue my own error message in
place of a system generated error message. A good example would be when a
message appears that indicates a referential integrity violation or cascading
delete warning. I would like to customize these error messages and warnings
for my user. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks,

Gerry Goldberg

Answered elsewhere.
Please do not multi-post. If you feel you must post the same question
to more than one newsgroup (and it's seldom necessary), crosspost by
adding each additional newsgroup in the To Newsgroups: box, separated
by a comma.
This way an answer in one newsgroup will be seen in each of the
others. More readers will see the response and learn, and less time
will be spent on duplicate answers.

See Netiquette at http://www.mvps.org/access

It's a great site to visit anyway.

I use message boxes. You can code them to pop up for whatever event you like.
