I am not getting information on my error form whenever the error occurs in the INIT of a form. The error in the INIT of a form varies.

Maybe I am asking the wrong question.... What is the preferred way of handling errors? I have been told that you should use an ON ERROR routine for general errors, but handle errors in data entry (conflicts) separately.
