# Capture ADO Error Codes
In addition to the provider errors returned in the [Error](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/error-object.md) objects of the [Errors](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/errors-collection-ado.md) collection, ADO itself can return errors to the exception-handling mechanism of your run-time environment. Use the error trapping mechanism your programming language, such as the **On Error** statement in Microsoft® Visual Basic, or the **try-catch** block in Microsoft Visual C++®, to capture ADO errors.

 For the list of ADO error codes, see [ErrorValueEnum](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/errorvalueenum.md).
