What have you tried?

Database and recordset are 2 very different things. What exactly is your question?

You do not show code so difficult to help - what method are you using to connect to DB, ADODB? ODBC? OLEDB?, presume it is ADODB then test the <database object="">.State (1 means it is open).

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms675068%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Example:
If db.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
<do whatever="">
End If

same goes for recordsets.

If it would be an answer, i'll vote for 5!

Difficult to know if it is the answer with such a sparse question and no code shown to be able to tailor the response...

I'll presume it is ADODB - test the database-object.State.

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms675068%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^]

Example:

VB

If db.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
   ' database is open...code here
 End If

same goes for recordsets.
