Can someone please tell me how you are supposed to catch an exception that
can occur at any time - normally you will place certain statements inside a
try...except loop in case one of them causes an exception. But this
exception is caused by the dumb user not by your code! I think that instead
they should have used an event that fires when the error condition is
detected. Admittedly this is also true of a number of other exceptions like
entering the wrong data format in a database field or trying to edit a
locked record. Which leads me to think you are not supposed to catch this
exception...it is meant to put up a message to warn the user.
