How do I configure VS2008 to stop compiling when it hits X errors?

Question

Maybe I'm remembering Borland's compiler? But I seem to recall having the ability to set "stop compiling if X errors are encountered" - or some such.

VS2008 already stops on 100 errors. But I'm already fixing the first couple, and hitting save, which causes the compiler to warn me about saving while compiling - which its being retarded to even create this situation.

Either: STOP compiling on ~10 errors, Or: STOP compiling when I hit save (during a compile).

I have found no setting which allows either of the above, but perhaps someone here knows if and where they may be?
