Reserved Error Numbers Returned in VB 3.0 by Jet 2.0 Engine (117900)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows 3.0

SUMMARY

The following is a list of reserved error codes that may be returned by the new Microsoft Access version 2.0 Jet engine that Visual Basic can now use if you have installed the Jet 2.0/Visual Basic 3.0 Compatibility Layer.

The reserved error numbers listed here are not Visual Basic error codes. They are unmapped Jet 2.0 errors that are exposed only as "Reserved Errors" in Visual Basic. In a future version of Visual Basic, many of these Jet 2.0 errors will be mapped to Visual Basic error codes.

Because these reserved error numbers are subject to change, developers should not rely on them being the same and should be ready to update the error-trapping routines when the next version of Visual Basic is released.

With each of the Jet version 2.0 error numbers listed below, you'll find a brief error string that appears when the error is viewed in Microsoft Access version 2.0. Only the message "Reserved Error" appears when the same error appears in Visual Basic.

When an error from the Jet 2.0 engine occurs, calling the ERR statement will return 3000 for the error number. You can get the actual reserved error by looking at the results returned by ERROR$.

NOTE: There are pipe characters (|) throughout these strings that act as placeholders for context information such as column names, table names, and so forth that would be filled in at the time of the error.

In the Microsoft Access Online Help file, use the following steps to find more detailed information about each of the error strings and what they mean when applied to Microsoft Access:
  1. Choose Help from the Microsoft Access main menu.
  2. Choose Search, and search for this topic:

    error messages: reference
  3. Select that topic.
Now you can search for specific error strings alphabetically.

        exist in table '|', referential integrity rules would be
        violated.
  -8265 Can't perform cascading operation.  There must be a
        related record in table '|'.
  -8266 Can't perform cascading operation.  It would result in a
        null key in table '|'.
  -8267 Can't perform cascading operation.  It would result in a
        duplicate key in table '|'.
  -8268 Can't perform cascading operation.  It would result
        in two updates on field '|2' in table '|1'.
  -8269 Can't perform cascading operation.  It would cause field
        '|' to become null, which is not allowed.
  -8270 Can't perform cascading operation.  It would cause field
        '|' to become a zero-length string, which is not allowed.
  -8271 Can't perform cascading operation:  '|'
  -8272 Invalid entry.  Can't perform cascading operation
        specified in table '|1' because value entered is too big
        for field '|2'.

        currently in use.
