    Posted: 10 April 2003 at 7:37am

How would I go about checking to see if a connection to a db is open or active.

In some of my earlier sloppy coding days I didn't do this:

Set adoCon = Nothing
Set strCon = Nothing

So what I would like to do is find a way to to see if either is still open so I can close them.
I'm a wannabe programmer that knows how to do nothing but create invalid procedure arguments.

if IsObject( adoConn ) then
   Set adoCon = Nothing
end if

or (yuch)
On Error Resume Next
   Set adoCon = Nothing
On Error Goto 0

and it appears you are trying to "close a string" on the second line, not sure where you heard/read to do that, its not going to change anything..

if you know that the connection exists...

if myConnection.state = 1 then response.write "myConnection is opened"
