# ODBC Errors
When an error occurs, the Microsoft ODBC Desktop Database Drivers return the native error number, the SQLSTATE (an ODBC error code), and an error message.  
  
 This section contains the following topics.  
  
-   [Native Error](../../odbc/microsoft/native-error.md)  
  
-   [SQLSTATE](../../odbc/microsoft/sqlstate.md)  
  
-   [Error Messages](../../odbc/microsoft/odbc-jet-error-messages.md)  
  
-   [Arithmetic Errors](../../odbc/microsoft/arithmetic-errors.md)
