Hi Paul

>> It's (IMO) the JDBC-ODBC bridge, ie: the code that's connecting to

Hmmm... I've got 3 problems with this

1) these same websites are working fine on the localhost:8500 dev servers
(every machine has one). The sites are being moved from localhost:8500 to
one machine for "hosting"

2) the students are used to using MSAccess. it can be carried around on a
floppy. there are zero issues with versioning, attach/detatch the db, etc.
anything else is way overkill (besides you're saying that it isn't MSAccess
at fault but the supplied JDBC driver)

3) you're not saying that CF has problems on something that ASP/IIS found
easy to do, are you? Surely not.....


any ideas on what to do to get to the bottom of this? debugging ideas?
things to look for/try?

thanx

It's (IMO) the JDBC-ODBC bridge, ie: the code that's connecting to
Access. 

It's evil. Ditch it. Get a decent database.

We had the same sort of problems for ages, running a db via ODBC. The 
system would just seem to freeze for no apparent reason, inconsistently.
Bit the bullet, moved to an external database accessible via JDBC 
drivers (PostgreSQL) and we haven't had a blip since.
