1. Create a new Access database (.mdb).
2. Create the following table:

   Table: tblErrorsAndDescriptions
   -------------------------------
   
   Field Name: ErrorNumber
   Data Type: Number
   Indexed: Yes (No Duplicates)
   Primary Key: Yes
   
   Field Name: ErrorDescription
   Data Type: Memo

3. Save the table as tblErrorsAndDescriptions.
4. Close the table.
5. Create a new module.
6. Type or paste the following code into the module:

   Option Compare Database
   
   Function sRecordAccessErrorMsg()
   
   Dim ADOcnn As ADODB.Connection
   Dim ADOrst As ADODB.Recordset
   
   Dim intCounter As Long
   Dim intErrornumber As Long
   Dim strErrorText As String
   
   Set ADOcnn = CurrentProject.Connection
   Set ADOrst = New ADODB.Recordset
   
   ADOrst.Open "tblErrorsAndDescriptions", ADOcnn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
   
   With ADOrst
       For intCounter = 0 To 32767
           .AddNew
           !ErrorNumber = intCounter
           If IsNull(AccessError(intCounter)) Then
               !ErrorDescription = "No Error"
           ElseIf AccessError(intCounter) = "" Then
               !ErrorDescription = "No Error"
           Else
               !ErrorDescription = AccessError(intCounter)
           End If
           .Update
       Next intCounter
   End With
   
   MsgBox "Completed enumerating errors to the table."
   
   End Function
   
   					

7. Save the module as Module1.
8. Type the following line in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER:

   sRecordAccessErrorMsg
