Ok, so I've got the following stuff in a site:

Ad Rotation Script
Article Script (organizes stuff into articles {pages})
Guestbook
Links System
Newsletter
Random Quote Generator

All of this is run off of seperate databases. And everyone of them is throwing an error! :eek:

It all worked perfectly a few days ago. But I check it today, and none of it is working.

The most common error being something like this:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x784 Thread 0x7e4 DBC 0x2190f94 Jet'.

What could be causing this? What happened? Yeah, I'm kinda panicing here. :D

Any help is much appreciated. If I need to talk to my host, well, I need to do it early tomorrow morning 'cause tomorrow from about 9:45 on I'm booked. *yuck* Like I said, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

Jer!

Sounds like your host changed permissions... I'd contact them.

Thanks, m8! :-) I've e-mailed them to see what they come up with. I've heard of cases where the banner rotator script I'm using causes memory leaks & 100% CPU usage. Wondering if mine was doing that so they changed permissions on me until I correct the problem?

But, ah, they never notified me. *shrugs*

Hmm... if that's the case with the script you're using, I'd write your own... as we discussed last night, something like a banner rotator is child's play...

Perhaps they are incorrectly using On Error Resume Next - which I've seen cause some bad CPU usage at work (not in my scripts, though;))
