Tom, Let me just say this... It is a known issue, but to say it is a DXbase problem as opposed to a Microsoft problem is a bit premature. The issue does not happen on Win95 or Win98. It also does not always happen on Win2K but it does sometimes. It is the same DXbase code regardless of what operating system you are using. This same issue has been reported for other software that also uses the Microsoft standard and accesses the internet. So, why not say it is a Microsoft operating system issue? Just making a point. We have forwarded the issue many times to Microsoft developer support, but as of yet, we don't have any response from them. It could be a DXbase issue, but since we comform to Microsoft standards for internet access in our code and in fact we use the Microsoft .dll files to do it, it will require their assistance to isolate why the behavior is different on their operating systems when a connection to the ISP is lost.
It's on our list of things we are tracking.
