How to trap error when referential integrity is violated?

I use db.execute to run a delete query. I've also tried DoCmd.OpenQuery .
Both work fine, but neither appears to allow me to trap an error if
referential integrity is violated - in which case no changes are made to the
table, but it would be nice to provide the user with a friendly message
telling him he's doing something wrong. I've thought about doing a DCount,
but that's too much overhead.

Is it possible to trap an error when table constraints prevent a delete
query from deleting?

Use .Execute with the dbFailOnError option.

Is there a way to run an alter table statement that adds a constraint for a foreign key, but does *not* check the existing data for refrential integrity? I'm essentially looking for the equivalent to SQL Server's NOCHECK flag. I am able to create equivalent keys in the Relationships screen, as long as the "Enforce referential integrity" box is left unchecked. But when I try to create that relationship with an ALTER TABLE statement, I...

I've inadvertently placed this post in another similar newgroup, and I apologise if you get it twice. I'm building a database that consists of frontend and backend. Some of the lookup tables need to reside in the frontend database. The data in the lookup fields that relate to the backend tables will never change, but a descriptor for items in these fields will. I may need to update the descriptors periodically, hence the need to keep...

If the record is filled out completely and added to the table, you can go back to the...
