Hi,

area so that I can use it fro all forms within my application...


Many Thanks,

Jassim,

If you want to expose a connection, you should create a static property
and then create a new connection every time that property is called. You
want to create a new connection because your routines should close the
connection when they are finished with it, you shouldn't keep the connection
open if you are not using it.

Hope this helps.
