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. /gustav >>> darren at activebilling.com.au 01-10-2008 01:49 >>> 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
