Does the access application ask for a password when it starts to make the connection or is that embedded in the app? Why not keep it simple and simply use the windows scheduler to reboot the PC around 6:00 am. We did this with an app that did drive mappings to the IFS and our backups created a similar problem.

Subject: Re-start iSeries Access ODBC connection from MS Access

Hopefully someone on this list can help me out. I have developed an MS
Access database that is linked to a DB2 table on the iSeries. Every 15
minutes the Access Database displays a form with a pie chart that is
generated from the table on the iSeries. The problem is that the iSeries
system shuts down every night for a system backup. This causes an ODBC
error for MS Access and the application has to be restarted. If possible
I would like to avoid having to restart the MS Access application. I
have attempted to find out what code is required to re-start the ODBC
connection, but so far I have been unsuccessful in my search. Does
anyone have any code examples that would accomplish this for me?



Thanks,

Phil.
