The GetError method of the View object returns the Validation error and the column name for which the error occurred. In automation, the returned value is a string of the form ##ColumnName, where the ## represents a 2-digit error code. It returns the first error in the view's error array; subsequent calls return the next value in the error array. Once a value of '00' is returned, no more errors exist, and subsequent calls merely loop through the array again.
