Brandon,

This is what I do:

- trap for those errors in Error event of DE
- declare a public variable like glDEError = .T.
- then, in the Load event of form, check for existence and value of glDEError
something like: IF TYPE( "glDEError" ) # "U" AND glDEError
- notify user about it, then return .F.
