How to find the error number???

Hi,
I would like to display a custom error message.I used the following subroutine.But still the MS-Access's default Error message overrides my custom message.In other words,this routine form_error is not at all invoked.I used an ErrObject variable also.But still MS-Access's default error message keeps popping.

Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
msgbox DataErr
'Select Case DataErr
' Case xxxx
' MsgBox "My Error Message for XXXX"
' Response = acDataErrContinue
' Case Else
' Response = acDataErrDisplay
'End Select
End Sub

I would like to know how to trap the error number.After trapping which error function shud i use to display my custom error message????Suggstions please

Thanks
Shan

Hi Shan,
Here's a sample of an error trap getting the error number (err.Number):

Error Handler:
Err_skAnalyzeSQL:
MsgBox "An error occurred in the function: skAnalyzeSQL." & vbNewLine & _
"Err # - msg: " & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description, vbCritical, _
"Function Error"
Resume Exit_skAnalyzeSQL

Here's how I raise an error of my own:

If Len(Nz(skFieldNameSetIn)) = 0 Then
' If no data, complain!
Err.Raise 1000, "skCreateTable", _
"No Field name(s) supplied in call to skCreateTable"
End If

Kind regards,
Sven
