ODBC MS Access, hide errors?

I am making a small application to manipulate uploaded databases but if someone uploads the wrong database, while logging it the program freezes with an error box and this problem is driving me bloody insane
is there a way to get this working http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q124901/ in MMF 1.5 / MMF2 so that if it logs in with wrong details, you can get notified instead of having your program frozen with a popup.
Seriesly if anyone can make this work, even for a price, tell me because i am just getting that annoyed that I am likely to smash this pc soon

could you upload the project as you have it so far...?

Define what a "wrong database" is. Also if you are using ODBC then check if you Can Get Data. Some time back I belive I wrote some information about the settings of Number of columns and number of rows as a way to determine if a connection is properly made.
