hi all, i am currently doing a website in ASP which is using ODBC to
connect the ERP Database in another server . when i run the system in
Winodws9 , it works perfectly, no errors and it may get the data from
the database . But when ic hange to winodws XP , here the problem
comes.

My windowsXP pro is using iis5.1 with sp2. The MDAC version 2.8 . i
cannot get any solution until now ( already 2 weks time ) , even though
i try to searched many forum, websites.

Below is my souce code. i have tried to close the connection fro RS and
Conn, but it still appear the same error.i already give all the
permission by sharing the whole database using simple file sharing .But
it still not working.

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "FILEDSN=C:\Program Files\Common Files\ODBC\Data
Sources\Syspro Local - Co. A.dsn"
set rs=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
sql="SELECT * from INVMASTER "
rs.open sql,conn11, 1, 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error appears

Error Type:
Provider (0x8000FFFF)
Catastrophic failure
/try.asp, line 5

this is 1 of the error. some time it will appear An exception occur (
"rs" ) or error in conn.open
any experts pls help me to solve the problems.

You've also changed the name of your connection object from conn to
conn11
