Form Opens Outlook Email Problem

[txaccess]

I have a form within my app that queries Outlook 2003 and displays email msgs. This works great in the main. However, if the user is not connected to the Exchange Server, closing the form takes forever as the app is trying to query Exchange before it performs any other functions.

Is there a way to check on opening the form whether the user is connected to Exchange and if not, abandon the send/receive process and simply display the email msgs in the folder?

Thanks for your help.
