There's no need to overcomplicate that. If the DB read failed due to the connection being lost, then that is a case for an exception and out of flow events? The 'null' would be returned when an active connection has no data to return because a search or query has produced none. Larry would probably be looking to check the 'no_of_recs' to see if there were any results but then you still have to read the result if there is one ... overcomplicating the simple solution? ( ADOdb check the connection is still valid as part of the query prep and run and changes the work flow if required ) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
