Fw: Help with VB & stored procedures

Apologies in advance if this has been posted previously. I've been trying to post it to the list over the last week, but have not yet seen it in the emails version of the group that I get. We are trying to execute stored procedures from within a Visual Basic program, and have managed to actually get the procedure to execute. The problem we have is that there are several places in the stored procedure that an error can be trapped, and when we trap one, we raise the -746 error condition and provide a message detailing what specific error was encountered. The problem we have is that the programmer can't retrieve the error message within the program. Does anyone have a code sample that they can share that addresses this problem? Thanks in advance.
