Have a look at the code that the RI builder generated (rierror). YOu can use the gaerrors array to tell what happened and why the trigger failed, and build your own error messagebox depending on which trigger failed. Basically you are modifying the RI's built in error handler. Make a copy of your custom code, however, because the next time you re-generate RI code, it will probablt write over it.
