Network goes down... notify user?

[Fred Boer]

Hello!

Working with a small library application, using A2K2, Windows XP, FE/BE
setup...

Yesterday, we had network problems, and while my student library helpers
were working in my application, the network went down. This, obviously,
caused problems, but they didn't realize it and continued to try to work
with the application for some time. Is there some way to notify users within
an Access application if the network connection is lost? I'm thinking of
popping up a message box saying something like "Run away! Run away! The
network is down! Wake up Mr. Boer in the back room of the library!! <g>

Thanks!

The Error event of the form/report fires when the network fails.

I think it's DataErr 3024.
