Hello Godfrey,

Typically, this is a result of "something" closing the SQL connection. MM uses a connection manager to prevent such occurrences, but it is possible for it to become "confused" and disconnect a connection before all views using that connection are closed.

What I would suggest is that you add a SET STEP ON in your BizObj.Save() and check the value of CURSORGETPROP('ConnectHandle', 'YourAliasName'). If it returns a zero, the connection has closed. Otherwise, it's still valid. Then, step through the code until that value changes until you come across the code that disconnects.

Hope that helps,
---J
