Einar,

Thanks for replying on this!

>My guess is that the error is "handeled" in the Open() method, i.e. there is a try catch in the Open() method that displays an error dialog and does not rethrow the error back up the call stack

That sounds logical although not sure what to do about it.


>Could you please post the code used to declare and initialize the oSWLConn object?


SqlConnection oSQLConn = new SqlConnection();
public string OpenSqlConnection(string cConnectionString)
{
oSQLConn.ConnectionString = cConnectionString;
try
{
oSQLConn.Open();
return oSQLConn.State.ToString();
}
catch
{
return "Failed";
}
}


Thanks, Todd
