Hi Benoit,
You might be able to do something in the Error event of the Dataenvironment itself. However, I agree with Hilmar in that if you want to do something like this, it is best not to use the standard approach of adding tables to the DE and simply open the tables in the Load event. It is slower (up to 4x slower), but that's what your client wants.

Note: The performance hit isn't noticeable unless you have a "large" number (12+) of tables to manually open. Usually you can design your forms to not need this many tables; sometimes you can't and you will notice it.
