Validation Error Messages (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

The standard validation error messages are sometimes cryptic for users(ie. Row does not exist in table )

Is there a simple way to intercept the error messages and create a more user friendly message?

I'm not sure about intercepting or preventing the standard message, but I've put code in the lostfocus event like this to provide the user with a more user-friendly message:

Call Forward_Event()

NotValid=Get_EventStatus()

If NotValid # 1 then
 Call MSG(@WINDOW,"User Friendly Data Validation Err Msg")
End
