Hi gcue,

the production version will handle all errors without showing the message box (in the _AD_ErrorHandler function).

So you get a return code from _AD_Open in your script. If the return code is <> 0 then you can exit because you can't connect to the AD.

I don't know how long it will take to release the next version. But if you like I can post both functions in advance.
