I suspect your post ended up under another thread. Yahoo will thread your posts when you "reply" and change the subject (bad, bad). Did you get any help with this?

IBO is cool about lost connections, but it will require you to code good. You can check the error code in the session error handler with the ConnectionLostErrcode boolean function. Do a forced disconnect and then connect again. You'll need to post or broadcast to open datasets to re-open. Basically, it should be doable to code reconnect facilities with IBO. It is, alas, not a trivial task (IBO or not). There's also a KeepConnection property of the TIB_Connection component. The default is true though, so i suspect that won't be of any help to you.

HTH,
