I am working with Sage Timberline Software and using an ODBC databse link to Access. I have 5 data sources coming from timberline. Everthing links up fine when I first open it up and will continue to work fine unless I let it sit idle for too long or I am in design mode for too long. Access will then drop the connection and not allow me to reconnect. I get the "Odbc connection to 'Timberline Data Source' failed" message and have to close Access down completely and open it up again. This is become annoying. Any suggestions?
