Chad, You should always var your query name and use a query name to make it a local variable and avoid race conditions.
With that said, that is not the cause of your problem. The deadlock is occurring at the database level. Normally I can get rid of deadlocks by tuning the query. There are several ways to do this. 1. Get rid of columns not needed in select statements. 2. Improve the query with a better where clause or less joins. 3. Add indexes! Your tables are probably not indexed properly for the queries you are running. 4. Run the queries that you are getting the deadlocks on through Database Tuning Wizard / Advisor (SQL Server) 5. If you just increased your server load a lot by adding customers or an application, you may need to upgrade your SQL Server. Look at adding RAM or a faster processor. Make sure that your primary keys have clustered indexes and your foreign keys that you are joining on have non-clustered indexes. It is also good to create non-clustered indexes for items in your where clauses. Also, try to access resources in the same order. If you have two differerent pages that both use the Order Log and Order tables, query them in the same order to avoid dead locks. Hope this helps.
