Provider error '8000ffff' Catastrophic failure

[eddie wang]

I got the following when opening up a page. It usually happens after I
modify one page(not connections.asp) without refresh in IE. I have to
refresh the IE browser and the error usually will go away. Why?
Thanks.


Provider error '8000ffff'
Catastrophic failure
/dmu/includes/connections.asp, line 14

The only time I have ever seen this message is when I was
running an older version of MDAC. What version are you on?

Here is line 14 of connection.asp. Thanks.

conn.Open
application("connstr"),application("uname"),application("passwd")

And what are the values of those app variables?

Response.Write application("connstr") & application("uname") &
application("passwd")

MDAC version is 2.52.6019.1

application("connstr") = "DSN=OGDW_MM"
application("uname") = "ogdwadmin"
application("passwd") = "dev08"

That DSN exists? My suggestions:

1. Install newer version of MDAC.
2. Drop the DSN and build a connection string using sample found at
www.connectionstring.com

That DSN exists. The asp usually works with no problem. If there is a
change to one of the asp, then the error messaeg may come out. The
error message will go away if I refresh the IE Browser.
