The Error event occurs when a run-time error is produced in Microsoft Access when a form or report has the focus. This includes Microsoft Jet database engine errors, but not run-time errors in Visual Basic.

To run a macro or event procedure when this event occurs, set the OnError property to the name of the macro or to [Event Procedure].
