anyone familiar with the one?

is anyone familiar with this error?

Provider error '8000ffff'

Catastrophic failure

/master.asp, line 5


line five looks like this

2:var RSmaster = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
3:var MM_defaultconn_STRING = "dbstuff"
4:
5:RSmaster.ActiveConnection = MM_defaultconn_STRING;


does anyone have any reasons that this might be occurring?

thanks

Stuie,

I think you want to create a Connection object instead of a recordset? So it should read: Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

But the error could also be attributable to any number of other causes - i.e., you need to be running the most recent MDAC as well (see http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2323)

If you haven't already come across this site, you might want to check it out. It's a great resource for quickly diagnosing the problems behind your asp errors, see:

Hope this helps!
