If the call fails, an error is going to occur on the server, which will be surfaced to the client (fox). You could capture the error locally with an On Error routine or perhaps in an error event if this is being done in an object.

The best place to trap errors is on the server. However, you can only do that if you use a stored procedure (yet another reason why stored procedures are usually a good way to go..< s >)

Instead of rending the sql from the client, you make a stored procedure call like this:

msql = 'insert_proc ?mfield1, ?mfield2'

In the stored procedure, you can check for the value of @@error. Using an output parameter, you could return the status of whether any errors occurred.
