Network Interruption
Brent Rinehart 
        
5 years ago
Almost daily while having my database open minimized in my taskbar our server drive where the back end is stored is on microsoft's azure cloud and we seem to always get a brief network interruption that disconnects the database and then it locks up the database and I have to control alt delete to close the database and reopen. My question is, is there a way to program the database to reconnect when the connection comes back?

Not easily. Once Access gets a network interruption, it just crashes. I'm not sure if you could intercept that error message or not. You might be able to do it by having a little "watchdog" form running a timer event in the background, constantly checking for a value in a table, and if it doesn't find it, RESTART the database - which is usually the only way you can get everything back online. I've got code to relink the tables (Access SQL Seminar) but reconnecting once the network connection is lost is a pain. But... it's certainly worth investigating. I'll experiment when I get a few free minutes.

Thank you it's been a pain I've had our it department look into the server issue as well but they have heard nothing about the issue except from me so they think it's just me even though others have told me they have the problem to.
