>Hello Again Sergey,
>
>The product in question is GoldMine a CRM package. We have developed a matching solution above and beyond the existing functionality using advanced phonetic matching techniques. It is a very simple VFP application which needs GoldMine to be open before running through it's database and marking the matching records. It uses the connectivity calls from the GoldMine API to access the data from the database.

>However I experienced the Remote data not accessable message if it isn't open which looks a bit daft to our prospective users. Be nicer to trap the error, or better still open the application if it isn't open already. Haven't really dealt with this element of programming before so any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated. I've had a similar message before using a connection from VFP go Excel and so that's a very similar thing I imagine.
