That's the template MDB with queries and forms but no data. So no answers in it.

That's several orders of magnitude higher than the guesstimate of all the downloads of the free utility in the past 8 or 9 years.

An MDB as Tony refers to it is a lot more than a database. It's really an application with an embedded database. In that sense, a question like this doesn't really make sense. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

InternetGetConnectedState is in Wininet, which is IE-connected. Part of the reason for using winsock was to eliminate those IE tie-ins, but I didn't think of InternetGetConnectedState. (And I don't know of any other way to check that status.) It turned out that I had set IE to use a proxy through ddd.com. I don't know why. I never use IE online, so I must have just been testing something at one point. Anyway, thank you. I never would have thought of that. |
