For example error message 521,instead of the default message you could customize or overwrite it with your own version of text.What I wanted to achieve is to have my own error message displayed by a VB.NET App when SQL server throws an exception that there is a duplicate value in the table.[/quote]Of course there is. Use Try-Catch in your VB app. Do you have a data layer? That would be the best place to capture this. All you need to do it catch the error and throw your own exception with your custom message.Fri, 05 Oct 2012 08:03:00 GMTSean Langehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1368969-338-1.aspxI am wondering if there is a way to overwrite or customize the system error thrown by SQL server.
