App Not Responding.

[kovas]

My program is on a server. I use Access as my db. Sometimes when you leave it in the background and dont use it for a while and then do something it hangs there Not Responding. After half a min or so it works fine. Its almost like the connection to the db gets timed out or something and it takes a while for it to reconnect.

When ppl see Not Responding they usually dont wait and Alt+Ctrl+Del it which i dont want them to do. I dont understand why it does this. Is it something I did? Or is it the server that disconnects them if they are idle for sometime? Any suggestions?

thanks

I don't know exactly where you should look but I think there is an article somewhere on the Microsoft web site that shows you how to get your app to co-operate with the task manger so that you can see that it is running rather than not responding - although if the thing genuinely is hanging (albeit temporarily) then that might not be much help...
