"This has never worked for me the way I'm sure it was intended to
work." doesn't communicate any specific symptoms. What does it do?
Exactly what error message(s) received? What have you already done to
debug it? Has that application ever worked for you on its current
system? If so, what changed before the symptoms appeared?

While I've never seen that particular application either, your
description of the over all process sounds like something I recognize
from way back when.

I don't remember where I found it. I'm completely self-taught and I
relied
heavily on the example databases I found online by doing random
searches. One
of the more comprehensive examples out there would be the Law Tracks
db. I'm
sure if you did a search using "Law Tracks" you would find it.

The function I'm having trouble with checks the backend during the
on load
event of my Splash form. It tries to link up with a table in the
backend. If
it cannot connect, then it asks the user to navigate to the backend,
select
it, and then it tries to reconnect. This has never worked for me the
way I'm
sure it was intended to work.

Rather than trying to get the Law Tracks Reconnect/AttachAgain
examples to
work, maybe someone has another way to check for the ability to
connect to
the backend during the login process and if the backend is not
available
display an error?

I'm trying to prevent the application from crashing if the network
is
unavailable and the user cannot gain access to the backend.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Jason

JK,

I've never seen this database on the Microsoft Templates site.
Where did
you get it? To answer your question one would need to see the
database
example.

In the Law Tracks example db in the frmSplash form the on
timer event
has
a feature called ReConnect that goes through a series of
functions
checking
to see if the backend is available. I've tried to incorporate
this into my
db. However, I've never been able to get it working correctly. I
was
wondering if anyone out there has any experience with these
features and
if
so, can offer some good advice.

As always - much appreciated.
