Chiz, what about the update to the OLEDB driver? Have you done it?

Ooops. Sorry, ruirib. I was late in editing my post. I hope you could read again my post above regarding this.
Is this what you mean about upgrading to OLEDB?

Yes it was. How many members do you have online when that happens?

About six or more...
FYI: I was using that connection string ever since I got the forum online way back in Nov. 2001

Thanks for the article link, ruirib.
Just read it and I guess, I can't have those upgrades. You're right, I'm not hosting my site. It's on a shared server.
I will email my hosting provider and ask what service pack and the version of the drivers are installed.

I'm afraid it's not only me encounters this error. Another user of the Categorized Icons MOD reported in this thread that he also experiences the same problem.
I really can't determine the error. Checked Microsoft support website and I wasn't unable to find related materials. Everything looks OK and yet it still produces the error.
If it isn't too much to ask I hope you could have a look at the following code changes made to the respective files. Red lines indicate the part where the errors occur.
inc_functions.asp
function CleanCode(fString)
....
if strIcons = "1" then
strSql = "SELECT Code, Filename FROM " & strTablePrefix & "CategorizedIcons"
set rsCategorizedIcons = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsCategorizedIcons.open strSql, my_Conn
Do While Not rsCategorizedIcons.Eof
fString= replace(fString, "<img src=" & rsCategorizedIcons("Filename") & " border=0 align=middle>", rsCategorizedIcons("Code"), 1, -1, 1)
rsCategorizedIcons.MoveNext
Loop
rsCategorizedIcons.close
set rsCategorizedIcons = nothing
end if
end if
fString = Replace(fString, "'", "'")
CleanCode = fString
end function
function Smile(fString)
strSql = "SELECT Code, Code2, Code3, Filename FROM " & strTablePrefix & "CategorizedIcons"
set rsCategorizedIcons = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsCategorizedIcons.open strSql, my_Conn
Do While Not rsCategorizedIcons.Eof
fString = replace( fString, rsCategorizedIcons("Code"), "<img src=" & rsCategorizedIcons("Filename") & " border=0 align=middle>")
If Not IsNull( rsCategorizedIcons("Code2")) Then
fString = replace( fString, rsCategorizedIcons("Code2"), "<img src=" & rsCategorizedIcons("Filename") & " border=0 align=middle>")
End If
If Not IsNull( rsCategorizedIcons("Code3")) Then
fString = replace( fString, rsCategorizedIcons("Code3"), "<img src=" & rsCategorizedIcons("Filename") & " border=0 align=middle>")
End If
rsCategorizedIcons.MoveNext
Loop
rsCategorizedIcons.close
set rsCategorizedIcons = nothing
Smile = fString
end function
inc_post_buttons.asp
...
'## Snitz Communications
'## C/O: Michael Anderson
'## PO Box 200
'## Harpswell, ME 04079
'#################################################################################
strSQL = "SELECT Width, Height FROM " & strTablePrefix & "CategorizedIconsSettings"
set rsCategorizedIconsSettings = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsCategorizedIconsSettings.open strSql, my_Conn
intWidth = rsCategorizedIconsSettings("Width")
intHeight = rsCategorizedIconsSettings("Height")
rsCategorizedIconsSettings.close
set rsCategorizedIconsSettings = nothing
%>
<script language="JavaScript">
I'm desperate in finding the solution to this since I think many users of the Categorized Icons MOD will experience the same problems.
Thank you very much in advance.

Well I as told you before, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Maybe try a way around the problem by using SELECT * FROM instead of specifying the names of the columns to get from the table. Maybe that will help.

I apologize Ruirib if I'm getting to be a pain in the a**. I appreciate all your help ever since.
I wrote a code just to test my theory that this is an intermittent error or probably a bug in ASP—or network-related. I really can't tell.
Anyway, I tried to reproduce the error by calling the chkString() function 1000 times. From my understanding of the code, the default.asp calls chkString() depending on the number of the forums the database has. So with this in mind, I wrote the code.
I was not surprised to see the error once again. My first run of the code loaded the page completely. But the succeeding reloading of the page produced these results.
As you can see from the first screenshot, the page was lucky enough to reach 904 passes, but the second one erred at its 4th pass.
I'm evaluating a fix I made in our forum where I used the Getrows method to put all the records in an array to minimize trips to the database. The code checks if the records are already in the array, it skips loading the records again.
I don't know if this is the best solution since there are times when even the first loading of records, the error occurs.
Do you think this has something to do with the server? Network traffic or maybe outdated database drivers?
Thanks once again for taking the time.

Chiz,
Gonna take a look at chkString and get back to you as soon as I can.
Just tell me one thing. This test involved just invoking chkString?

No problem. Take your time.

Yes, Ruirib. Here's the test code so that you may have an idea:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_functions.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_code.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_top.asp" -->
<%
For intCount = 1 to 1000
Response.write "<font size=""1"">Debug: Running chkString()... " & chkString("[:)]","smile") & " Pass " & intCount & "</font><BR><BR>"
Next
%>

Chiz,
Surely the error you get now is not a database error, since you are not accessing the database, right. Which one is it, now?

Oh, it is still a database error. The test code uses the functions in the inc_functions.asp that I have just posted. And the lines in red are where these errors occur.
It is not yet using the temporary 'fix' that I did.

Just checking anyway, but do you close the database connection after you no longer need to use it?

Always. Here's part of the code that I posted earlier. I don't know if this is ineffective but I always put this:
rsCategorizedIcons.close
set rsCategorizedIcons = nothing
