I made a simple application that can add/save/delete/search records in an access database. Each of the fields in the database had data type you can input specified inside the access file, and whenever I try to input something else, it gives me this lengthy error (There was an error in the DataGridView etc etc.) and tells me to 'handle the DataError exception' to replace it with a different message. I need to replace the default message with something else. Any chance you could help me with that? That's the best I could explain my problem.
