FrontEnd - BackEnd Error Handling

[Naresh Nichani MVP]

Hi:

You could put the check in the Startup Form that you have for your database.
Put the check in the Form_Open event.

Is there any way to have the front end perform a check to see if it can find
the back end as soon as it opens?

I would like to give the user a message to open the Linked Table Mgr and
update the links to the back end if someone (me...) forgets to make the
proper connection. Right now I have figured out how to do this when they
click a button to go to a form, but does that mean that I have to put the
error handling code (on error 3024, a msg box telling them to open the
Linked Tables Mgr) behind every single button?

I hope there is a more universal way to accomplish this...

Thanks in advance. I have learned so much from this ng!
