I'm creating a database application using Delphi V1.0 which connects to a
Access V2.0 database.

When connecting to the database the logon screen appears (as normal) and if
incorrect details are inputted, an exception error occurs.

However I'm having problems getting my head around these functions.  The
error raised is 'EDBEngineError' but if I put a try..except block in, which
should display a MessageDlg box if this error is raised the program still
falls over

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
     try
        Table1.Active := True;
     except
           on EDBEngineError do
           MessageDlg('Incorrect login details.', mtWarning, [mbOk], 0);
           end;
end;

Your educated and valued comments would be appreciated, Ta Mate!

Are you running the program independent of the IDE?

I'm still running it within the IDE.

Turn off "Break On Exception" in the Options screen - then processing
will continue after the exception is raised.
