I am going to give you the answer to “How do I handle errors in Access VBA code?”
In my opinion there are 2 ways to handle errors:
1. Avoid the potential for an error to occur.
2. Handle the error in your code.
Number 1 – If you have a control on your form that normally causes users to have an error, hide it to prevent the error from even happening in the first place.
Number 2 – In your code put some error handling like:
Sub ErrorSample()
On Error GoTo errhandler
intCauseError = 2/0
Exit Sub
errhandler:
msgbox "You can't cannot divide by zero", vbCritical,"Error Message"
End Sub

Also here is the code from the video:
Sub ErrorSample()
Dim intX As Integer
On Error GoTo errhandler
'intX = 6 / 0
intX = 0 / 6
MsgBox intX
Exit Sub
errhandler:
Select Case Err.Number
Case 11
MsgBox "You can't divide by zero. " & Err.Number, vbExclamation, "Div By Zero - Not Allowed"
Case Else
MsgBox "you have an error " & Err.Number, vbExclamation, "Error"
End Select
End Sub
