Is it possible to determine whether an occuring error is a 'normal' error or
a critical error? Or is that info not available (via a VBA routine)?

Thanks,

Lars
 
Define "normal".

Define "critical".

To whom?

In what situation?

I could imagine that certain errors are always critical and that Access
developers have built that kind of info into Access, for instancee errors
like corruption, lost networkconnection to the backend. If I recall
correctly, some errors in Access give just an image with a warning sign
while others give an image of a red circle with a cross inside.

The images that show on warnings can be set by you, the application
developer.

Regardless of the image, you still need to decide how to handle the error(s)
.... for this, you'll need to come up with an error handling routine if you
don't want your application to blow up in the face of your users and put
them deep in the code with no idea which button to push.
