Is there a way to programatically determine if a database that is
linked to Sharepoint is online or offline? I know that the status bar
gives this indication, but I would like to make it more obvious to the
user via a label on a form.

I wouldn't know but perhaps you can create an error condition. Ex
Sub TestErr()
Dim x As Date
On Error GoTo 0
On Error Resume Next
x = "Hello"
MsgBox Err & " " & Err.Description
End Sub

and perform some sort of check on an option that is available online vs
offline. Is there an Sharepoint object module you can view to create a
test?

Good question. Both the ribbon icon, and the SharePoint "on-line" in the
status bar obviously "know" if you purposely gone into off-line mode.

I don't see option exposed that tells this...but, I will hunt around a
bit...and see what comes up...

Thanks Albert. I have a custom ribbon and the status bar indicator is
easily missed by an inexperienced user. Hence I want to flag to the
user if the database is offline using a hard-to-miss text box if it is
possible.
