Dialog boxes stall FileMaker in "server mode"

[Joe Schluter]

I'm using FMPro 6 and FM Server 5. One of the FMPro clients acts as a data source (SQL) to a VB Script. If an error occurs (such as a server-side loss of database connectivity), an error box is displayed on this mostly unattended PC. This halts any further SQL processing and essentially ends up stalling my web page.

Is there any way to tell filemaker to NOT put up error boxes or some other way to prevent FileMaker stalling in this way?

Thanks a bunch - again...

No. But instead of a VBscript you could put your code in a VB application and use the Windows API to check FileMaker's dialogs. If it detects a dialog, click whatever buttons necessary to close that dialog, quit FM, relaunch FM and see if you can open the files again. If not, send an email to the admin.
