Posts: 270                Ran into a problem that caused me to waste a couple 
of hours trying to resolve it.

Here is what was going on.  We have a class for our windows and in the open of 
the class, there is some code to put the window in the same place (and in the 
same size) as when it was last closed.  The information to accomplish this is 
saved in a application database.  

Unfortunately, our RaiseEvent was placed before this code, so it was opening 
and closing the administrative database AFTER the database was being opened in 
the open event of the window used to allow the user to set some preferences - 
which are also saved in this administrative database.

There is a place in this window where the user can add some new records to a 
table in the administrative database, however, the table never resulted in any 
records being added to the table even though there was never any error 
reported.  The whole problem was caused by the fact that the administrative 
database was being opened in the open event of the window, then closed in the 
open event of the class the window was created from.

It would have been nice if there was a way programmatically to tell if the 
database was opened or closed.  Is there a way to do this???
