I have a solution that relies on an OBBC (mysql) data source. What's the best way to trap if that data source is down? In my tests, with it down, as soon as I try to open the connected solution or run a script from that solution, it opens the Find In Progress... dialog, and there is a long delay before that stops, and that's what I would like to avoid. I would like to immediately get a message to the user that the ODBC source is down, rather than having to wait for a find and then trapping for an error. Also, it seems that Get(LastError) comes back as zero for "Data Source Missing", which is strange.
