Problem:

The Connection Status in the Runtime window blinks between

TCP Link to	dataserver established

and

Socket has closed

Cause:

The nserve program is not running.

Solution:

Ensure that both qserve and nserve are running on the data server. Remember that qserve must be started first.

The message will blink for a while, but if you don't close the Runtime window, the Socket will eventually time out, and stay closed for about 5 minutes.
