>John...you are correct. Right now I use the SysInfo.ocx to monitor battery strength amongst other things and I now need to monitor network connectivity and more importantly, the strength of the wireless signal. It is getting very dicey to attempt to transmit table data (small chunks) on an unreliable wireless network.

Yeah, I've got a wireless app that is a hybrid. It has some data stored locally and yet pulls from a mainframe, SQL, Fox, Web sites, etc remotely. If the returns come back empty or timeout I handle it, but it would be nice to know before attempting to pull the data if the signal was too weak.
