[AccessD] A2003: Disk or Network Error

I had this at a client's once.  Only happened on one machine though and it
was a bad NIC in that machine.

Hi Darren

That is not normal behaviour and I think you should focus on the cause which
probably is the backend machine or the connection to it including possible
mis-settings of sleep mode, bad network devices or cabling, etc.
I would replace the backend machine with a NAS device or machine running a
server OS. If the problem persists, you have ruled out one source - if not,
you have found the source.

Hi Team

 

Apologies if I have asked this before

 

I have a dB that speaks with the BE. That BE that sits on a machine here
used as a file share/server (It's not running Server software - just XP)

 

Quite often I'll leave for the night with my Access app happily displaying
its main page only to return to a zillion "Disk or Network Error" message
boxes in the morning

 

Obviously some time during the night the FE and BE have lost contact with
each other - not too big a deal but I have to click through all the error
messages - there can be up to 50 of them 

 

Then I have to re-boot the app - this is sometimes done un-gracefully from
the task manager 

 

Is there a way I can trap this error at a dB kind of level - not a form
level - then I can gracefully shut the app or alert the user to graceful
shut the app?

 

I think I know the error message number - just not sure where to trap for it

 

Many thanks

 

Darren
