Just wondering. A thought. Why not try to open the db? Perhaps in the background. If you have an image indicating the db selected, it can have some sort of busy look before one is selected. Or simply use the local db if the remote db is not available at the time of a save. If that works,

That was Daryl. I suggested arp and ipconfig, but leaned toward ping and maybe a socket test, but if it can be done in the background I like best a direct test of connecting to the db. It is easy to get us confused; just remember, I'm the round hirsute one. Dar On Jun 14, 2013, at 12:16 PM,

Sorry, I've been offline for a while, so this reply is coming kind of late, but I don't think anything in the subsequent discussion invalidates it. If you don't want to wait a second, you could do (for address 10.0.0.232) -- NB we don't care if this succeeds or not open datagram socket

Hi Tom, This won't work, unless the imageData fit the image rect exactly. To solve this, set the imageData first and then resize. Better yet: don't use imageData but use the original PNG or JPEG data to set the text of the image object. Set the lockLoc to false, then set the text, resize, and
