I just tried to archive some posts and it looks to me like the database has some quote issues. Previous versions of Snitz must not have handled the quotes correctly and it is causing some problems.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14' Unclosed quotation mark before the character string
I guess there is not process in the upgrade which checks and corrects quoting issues?
I tried both OLEDB and ODBC. I did find the problem. The issue was the Realtek gigabit LAN driver, dated 2003. I installed the latest driver and the problems went away.
The reason I even discovered the driver problem was that I was downloading the SQL2K AnalysisSP3 update and it would timeout after a minute.
This may point something out about Snitz though. I have much-much larger DB's on the same machine and they did not encounter a timeout since I think they are always returning small recordsets. Might Snitz be returning large recordsets in the forum thread list? I did se in the code that it is using paging.
