Suppress warnings, but show error messages

H

Helge V. Larsen

I have some VBA that loops through a list of tables, empties them, and then
fills them again by running append queries.
For each table I get messages like "You are about to delete 123 row(s) from
the specified table" and "You are about to append 456 row(s)". These
messages I can suppress by "DoCmd.SetWarnings (False)".
But if some error happens when appending records, the accompanying error
message is also suppressed. An error message could for instance be
"<Database> can't append all records in the append query. <Database> set 7
field(s) to Null due to type conversion failure, ... ...".

How can I suppress the warning messages and still get any error messages?

My attachment was considered unsafe by OE and removed. Therefore I insert it
here:

Function HVL_Run_Action_Queries() As Boolean

Dim DB As Database, anError As Error, sError As String
Dim aTable As String, aQuery As String, SQL As String
Dim i As Long
Dim OK As Boolean

OK = True

' Set names of queries and tables
Call HVL_Initialize_Trans

' Check that all queries and tables exist :
For i = 1 To N_Update
aQuery = UpdateQuery(i)
If Not HVL_Query_Exist(aQuery) Then
OK = False
MsgBox "Function HVL_Run_Action_Queries :" & vbCr & _
"Update query """ & aQuery & """ does not exist !",
vbCritical, "ERROR"
End If
Next i
For i = 1 To N_Trans
aQuery = TransQuery(i)
aTable = TransTable(i)
If Not HVL_Query_Exist(aQuery) Then
OK = False
MsgBox "Function HVL_Run_Action_Queries :" & vbCr & _
"'Trans' query """ & aQuery & """ does not exist !",
vbCritical, "ERROR"
End If
If Not HVL_Table_Exist(aTable) Then
OK = False
MsgBox "Function HVL_Run_Action_Queries :" & vbCr & _
"'Trans' table """ & aTable & """ does not exist !",
vbCritical, "ERROR"
End If
Next i

If Not OK Then GoTo Exit_Function

' Uses DB.Execute instead of DoCmd.RunSQL
' Warnings are not shown.
' Errors can be trapped.

Set DB = CurrentDb

' Running update queries

For i = 1 To N_Update
aQuery = UpdateQuery(i)
HVL_Log_Write ("Running Update query """ & aQuery & """.")

HVL_Log_Write (" " & DB.RecordsAffected & " records affected.")
Next i
HVL_Log_Write ("...")

aTable = TransTable(i)
SQL = "DELETE [" & aTable & "].* FROM [" & aTable & "];"
HVL_Log_Write ("Deleting all records in table """ & aTable &

DB.Execute SQL, dbFailOnError
HVL_Log_Write (" " & DB.RecordsAffected & " records deleted.")
