There were 13 columns with 970 rows (including a header).  These columns 
included:
E-mail address
User Name
Domain
User Type
Last Login Date
Last Login Time
AR Inq (1/0)
Sales Inq (1/0)
RMA Inq (1/0)
Products Inq (1/0)
Storefront (1/0)
USA Companies (svm)
Canadian Companies (svm)

The last 2 columns contain the company # and name.

Everything worked find for a while.  At some point, we noticed that it was no 
longer working.  I suspect this was when we reached a certain number of users 
thus hitting a limit.  Using a "SAMPLE XXX" on my SELECT, I was able to 
determine the last record that would work.  I looked at it and the following 
record for bad info, but there was none.  I skipped over the offending record, 
but it simply blew up on the next record (thus hitting the suspected size 
limit).  Taking the names out of the last 2 columns (thus only returning just 
the customer numbers) worked, but was not meaningful.

I have since redesigned this whole process to created an XML file on the UNIX 
box then E-mailed it to the user as an attachment.  Thus, the exact same info 
is received by the user, but no data is actually passed back to the web page.

Just one of life's little mysteries.


Thanks for all the input.

How many fields do you have?  From what I remember reading, there was a field 
limit on RBOs, it was like a thousand fields though.

It was not timing out.  I have other pages that take longer.  It really seemed 
to be a size limit.  I develop with FF with a Web Developer plug-in that helps 
a lot.  I validate with IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari, but FF is my preferred 
browser.

 Try using cURL or wget, with an unlimited timeout, and get the real headers 
from the server. Assuming you're using IE, it rarely tells a true story when it 
comes to server connection issues or HTTP errors.
