>>With asynchronous connections, you can do exactly that. I've got a search dialog that searches patients through an asynchronous query and displaying a animated GIF and at the same time being able to cancel out the search is perfectly possible and not even that difficult.
Care to share the gist of it, after your earlier fabulous automagic connection preserver?! ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
