Depends on what specifically you're doing. New returns an initialized instance of the class, so if you test to see if it's Nothing, that's one way (if it IS nothing, it failed). Using a try/catch block in the calling routine is another way, since any exception will bubble up to it. We use both techniques in our shop because we also event log the exceptions.

So you use a flag that says it worked? Do you simply pass in the connection string and store it, then use a different function to start the process happening? John W.
