    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

    You can use the .Cancel method to cancel your .Open action but only for an asynchronous method call invoked with the adAsyncConnect, adAsyncExecute, or adAsyncFetch option.
