The Connection Status Window

The Connection Status window provides detailed information about a connection and EndNote’s interactions with the online database and server. This window is useful to help you or to help EndNote Technical Support assist you in tracking down the source of a problem with an online database.

View the connection status information by selecting Show Connection Status from the Window menu to display the Status window. When that window is open, this command changes to Hide Connection Status, which closes the Status window.

The Status window displays information for the latest connection. A menu at the top of the Status window lets you view either the record data for each reference or the status messages returned from the server of the online database.

Note: The Connection Status window displays the last 32K of text written to the log file. If you need to see more than that, you can open the Connect ion .log file in a word processor after closing the Retrieved Reference window(s).
