You can disable the re-connect prompt in ado by using DriverNoPrompt option from your conn.open method. You can also disable the prompt during the failed connection from the DSN using the option 'Don't prompt on connect'. And as far as hidden dialog, am not sure how does that come in to picture as we use XP and 2000 for all internal testing. Can you cross check whether the dialog is really active by using 'alt-tab' ?
