    Terminating ADODB.Connection

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a way to terminate a ADODB.Connection early.

    I have a piece of code that connects to a server.
    I want to have a Cancel button to abort the connection attempt (in case the user changes his/her mind or provided a bad IP)
    Note: ConnectToServer is already in a Thread to avoid cn.open from freezing the form.

    VB Code:
    1. Private Function ConnectToServer() As Boolean
    2.         Try
    3.             Dim cn as New ADODB.Connection
    4.             cn.Open(connectionString)
    5.             Return True
    6.         Catch
    7.             ' catch nothing
    8.         End Try
    9.         Return False
    10.      End Function

    Thanks!

    *edit: I know I could set the ConnectionTimeout, but I want to have the connection attempt stopped once the user to be able to clicks the Cancel button
