Hi,

Is there a good way to determine the connection status using
ADOConnection object??  I tried an experiment where I
connected to the database, unplugged the patch cable to the
DB server (simulated network outage), then checked the status
of ADOConnection1->Connected which returned true.  Do
I have to submit a query to check the connection to the database??

Thx,

John
