We have a networked app. Our user's all use Win 98 or XP machines. The app and data all reside on a Novell file server. The users all launch the app right from the Novell server.

Every once in a while we'll have a network glitch where everyone, for one reason or another, gets disconnected from the network for a few seconds. The client machines handle the disconnect pretty gracefully and reconnect once they "see" the file server again.

So, if I had Windows Explorer open and our app open when the glitch takes place and don't use either program until the connection is reestablished, Explorer will just continue on as if the connection was never dropped. Our app, on the other hand, will crash immediately the minute I try to do anything in it as though the connection was still dropped. None of the networked resources (programs, data, classlibs, etc) can be found.

Why isn't VFP able to recognize the connection has been restored like other MS apps can?

Thanks for whatever tips you can offer.
