>I have set up a SQLSTRINGCONNECT() to an AS400 database. Sometimes the app will stop reasponding if the AS400 is to busy to accept a new connection(seldom but anoying). When this happens a dialog box appears I suppose from AS400 letting me know that the connection is being atempted. When this appears there is usually no escape except End Task. Is there a way to abort if the connection is having a hard time establishing and return controll back to VFP?
