TIB_Connection setting it's 'Connected' to false is not the
problem, the problem is that 'Builder' wipes a lot of
settings for no reason. Which Norman seems to confirm is not
an IBO only problem. Builder5 has done this since day one,
and Borland have yet to agree that there is a problem.

I don't go as far as extra code to get round it, but simply
stepping back to a clean copy prior to the problem has
always kept me running for weeks before the problem happens
again, and then not necessarily on the same program.

It's always a good idea to back up from time to time <g>
especially when using Microsoft and Borland software <bg>
