Doesn't it cause your VFP app to error out because the database connection
is lost?
Hm. Just had a user experience something like this--I think.
What they actually "experienced" was a C5 crash while trying to access a
record. My application has dbf files on a Linux Samba server, accessed via
a mapped drive on (in this case) a Win 2000 box whereupon the application runs.
However, when they reported the C5 to me I looked at the error log and saw
that some minutes before that event they had first had an 1102 "disk is
full, read-only or damaged" error message, followed some minutes later by
an error claiming that the system could not find a dbf file in the user's
working directory (which it should not be able to do since that dbf resides
on, and only on, the Samba server)--Error 1. They were distracted and never
saw the error messages, which timed out. So they continued to use the
application and got the C5 as its last dying gasp.
Those first two errors, though, imply loss of connectivity to the mapped drive.
I don't see this very often; once in a blue moon. It's not tied to a
specific OS though.
But, my question for you all is, if a mapped drive suddenly disconnects,
would there be an entry in the Windows Event Log? And is there a way to
programmatically "wake up" the connection safely?
