connection lost

Periodically we loose our connection to the database. It occurs upon opening in the morning when we boot up the computer. There is not an occurring factor that contributes to this.

I can fix it one of two ways: 1.Sometimes rebooting simply fixes the problem 2.Other times I have to go into Administrator, check the DB connection, and test the db connection.

Does anyone have any advice on this or is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks! -- Elizabeth M.

POS and RMS database are running on same machine in this case.

MSDE sometimes takes a few minutes to start up. You may just be trying to open POS or SO Manager before the service is available. There should be a SQL Service Manager icon in the task tray (lower right corner) of your desktop - make sure it is showing a green arrow rather than a red square before trying to open any of the RMS programs.
