Hi Jason,

The LawTrack Contacts database is one of the main sample databases found
in John Viescas' Access 2003 Inside Out book.

To assist you further, I think we're going to need some more information.
Specifically,
1. What version of Access are you using?
2. Does the database work as is with the reconnecting code?
3. What errors are you getting when you try and incorporate this into your
own application?

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.

Jason
