OK, if your connection goes down, i.e. you lose connection to the database, a series of things should be understood.
1. You can continue to type ad nauseum and nothing will happen as the program does not know the database is down. You can type and type and go to lunch and go to a movie, come back and type some more.
2. The second you do something which requires the database, you will not be able to connect, and you will get an error message stating the above. Connection lost. Click yes or no.
3. At this point in time, the ONLY way to lose your data is to click NO. Then your program will crash. I know it is non-intuitive, but it's the way it is.
4. KEY. Usually with wireless, your connectivity issue is nanoseconds or at the most a few seconds, so clicking Yes, will get you back and running. But, whether you are down for one second or one hour, you can no longer do anything until the connection is re-established. If you click yes while it is disconnected you will hear "BING" or some sound like that. If you click yes while you are connected again, you are off to the races.
HTH and clears some things up.
