What kind of comment is that....I know how to live in a disconnected
world!! I found the bug in my code I posted....in the ELSE block to the
main IF, I added a recursive call to the function if a simple SQL
fails. From my original post:
On 2nd review, I think this fails because once the handle is set,
it's a positive number, so the retry code inside never gets run.
DOH! Note to self: call simple SQL first and treat as tlForce=.T.
if it fails!
