Quick suggestion, post the connection string, full SQL and OS version information

Thank you! Here is my code:

Dim objConn, objRS, strQuery,strConnection

set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")

strConnection = "User ID=xx;Password=xxxxxxxxxx;"

strConnection = strConnection & "Driver={SQL Server};Server=DB_Server_NAME;Database=MY_DB;"

objConn.Open strConnection

strQuery = "select * FROM myTable"

Set objRS = objConn.Execute(strQuery)

if not objRS.EOF then

objRS.MoveFirst

vchEventDesc = objRS("vchDesc")

iNbr = objRS("iNbr")

dDate = objRS("dDate")

end if

if objRS.State = adStateOpen then

objRS.Close

end if

set objRS = nothing

Quick suggestion, add a Provider parameter to the connection string with the right version for the SQL Server you are connecting to, i.e. Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=...
