Additionally, do the illogical and unexpected. You cant expect them to know the order of data entry or data types acceptable. You will never make it 100% error free but its getting the highest acceptable percentage thats the goal.

Re: 'Fool-proof' a software
I don't think there is any way to fool proof an application. If you can figure it out let me know! 
But like Rob and dglienna said do a lot of wacky things to your app and try and make it crash so you know what to expect.
What I usually do after hours of debugging is go through a beta test where I have friends or collegues try and make it crash, have a central error log to let me know what is going on fix the errors and ship the product. Though even after I give the project to a client I'll always have an error log generating.
