Have been using xmlhttp to get shipping rates from UPS. Now want to detect case where client is not connected to internet so can handle gracefully. If disconnect from Internet and run program, get error 0 at lcxml =oxmlhttp.responsetext statement below. Tried to intercept with on error, but success seems to depend on whether am in debugger or not.

How can I best detect user is not connected to internet using the xmlhttp object? Thanks.

oXMLHttp = CREATEOBJECT("Microsoft.xmlhttp")
oXMLHttp.open("POST", "https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate", .T.)
oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
xx=alltrim(holdxml.holdxml)  && this is a memo field in the holdxml table which holds the request string
oXMLHttp.send(xx)
lcxml=oxmlhttp.responsetext
**11-24-08 intercept error with on error()
IF problem  && connecting to internet
	**handle the problem
else
	= XMLTOCURSOR(lcxml,"")  && transfer xml return to xmlresult cursor
	*etc.
endif
