Use Source to provide your users with information when your code is unable to handle an error generated in an accessed object.
Source always contains the name of the object that originally generated the error. Your code can try to handle the error according to the error documentation of the object you accessed. If your error handler fails, you can use the Err object information to describe the error to your user, using Source and the other Err to inform the user which object originally caused the error, its description of the error, and so forth.
