i have an application that uses DAO(yes...antiquated, i know) to create and access databases. my app stores the currently loaded db in an ini upon exiting my app. if it is the first time the user has run my app, or if the db gets moved or deleted, i have problems.
i have written error handlers to check for errors in loading the path stored in the ini. if there is an error, the error handler pops a msgbox telling the user they will need to make, or open a db in order to utilize my apps functions, then it exits the function.
BUT. even though the function exits etc... a dialog pops up, allowing the user to specify the database engine needed to open the file. it looks like built in error handling, and i need to know how to keep this dialog from popping up.
thanks a $mil.
