Handling -6005 errors in VB6.0 during ascii transfers

[Rob Bergmeyer]

Is this a fatal error, which requires me to terminate my VB 6.0 program and
restart or can I try to reconnect and restart the transfer? I am not sure
how to handle this error.

Thanks,

Rob,
-6005 is just "Cancel requested", one side of the transfer cancelled it.
You can restart the transfer without having to restart the app or
connection. It's purely a protocol error, doesn't have anything to do with
the transport layer (serial/winsock) or connection.

Mike,

I think APAX is generating the Cancel request because the modem connection
dropped. I can see where the OnPortClose event fires, then OnProtocolFinish
fires, this is where I see that the errorcode is -6005 and when I check
.tapistatus, it is equal tsDisconnected. If I try to reconnect by
executing tapidial, I see where OnPortClose fires, which is not what I
expected. I expect to see OnTapiStatus or onTapiConnect events to fire off.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?

Thanks

Rob,

Make sure you have the latest version of APAX. You can update to the 1.12
version from http://www.turbopower.com/updates/ and that should take care of
your problem. At least it sounds like a bug that was fixed in a prior
version. If you already have the 1.12 version, then generate a log by
setting the Logging property to tlOn and setting the LogName property to the
path and filename where you want to store the log, for example
(C:\APAX.LOG). The log should show us what is happening. Thank you.

Rob,

I don't see any replies back from the other side, just your writecoms. Is
there more of a log? Are you sure the other side has not hungup or cancelled
(as Mike suggested)? Where is the error? Sorry, but I was hoping to get more
a log to help see what happened. The 6005 error is when a cancel is
requested. Are you able to start the transfer again without disconnecting?
If you your OnProtocolFail event fires again with a different error message,
then I would think the line has been dropped. If the port is still open and
the OnTapiPortClose has not fired, then a call to TapiCancelCall should
generate an OnTapiFail event. If you get an OnTapiFail event, then checking
the Cancelled property will tell you if it fired because you called
TapiCancelCall. I hope that helps.

Don,

Have you had a chance to check out the log file, I sent?

Don,

I know that the modem connection is dropping. I don't think the other side
can cancel an ascii transfer. The question is how do I recover after the
6005 error? I am not connected because I check .tapistatus, and it is equal

tsDisconnected. If I try to reconnect by executing tapidial, I see where
OnPortClose fires, which is not what I expected. I expect to see

OnTapiStatus, onTapiConnect, onTapiFail events to fire off. It seems like I
have to shut down my program to reset the APAX object to be able to
reconnect and transfer the file. Is there a way to totally reset APAX
without ending my program?

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

If you are using TAPI, then you should not be using the OnPortClose event at
all, but rather the OnTapiPortClose event. Do you have a log with more to
show? You may have a look in the OnProtocolLog, OnProtocolStatus, or
OnProtocolFinish to find out where we are in the transfer.
