<div>
You could try using the Try ... Except statement.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
Try<br />
&nbsp; //Attempt to connect<br />
Except<br />
&nbsp; //Display a message if you like, or do nothing ...<br />
End;<br />
<br />
<br />
Although an error message will be displayed when running the program through the Delphi IDE, this should work when you try to run the application from windows, (not through Delphi.)<br />
<br />
You should also look into the onError events, if you are using the Client/Server components that are included with Delphi.
