From what my host has listed under my package, the site is hosted on a Linux machine, so (unless I'm mistkane) it shouldn't be an IIS or ActiveState problem, since I thought that ActiveState was strictly a windows version of perl, and IIS was a windows based server application.

The script has been running fine for probably a year now... if not longer. Nobody else has reported this problem, and I can't find any errors in the code nor can I seem to reproduce the error (then again, I don't have VB installed... so that may be why).

I'm assuming my only solution would be to setup a library below the web route, and then use a subroutine in the library to generate the connection to the database for each script? I just don't want to potentially leave my username & PW to my db out in the open (obviously).

Any suggestions?

Thx guys!
