How can I programmatically test a TADOQuery connection in a way that will
not cause my app to hang while testing?

If I use TADOQuery->Open(), I have to wait for the server to time out.  What
I'm looking for is a quick check of the connection, the same as the 'Test
Connection' button the the Connection String setup dialog.

TIA,

Mike
