You don't need to set ON ERROR, because TABLEUPDATE() will return .F. and you can use AERROR() to get an array of error information.

For example:

if tableupdate()
* everything is OK
else
aerror(laError)
if laError[1] = 1884
* duplicate key value
endif
endif

Rather than doing the error handling directly here (after all, there are a number of reasons why TABLEUPDATE may fail), you might want to put the code in a different method. eg:

if tableupdate()
* everything is OK
else
This.HandleError()
endif

and have HandleError do the job (likely using a CASE statement for different errors).
