1. 50 max processes? Damn, dude, you're choking that thing to death.
2. That is one of the sorriest excuses for a data access methodology that exists. Tell them to start pooling their database connections or you'll turn your max processes down even further.

        Hummm.... I have to be more diplomatic than that .. ;-)

        They are using the Oracle 8.17 provider with a connection string like so

        Connect=Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;PLSQLRSet=1;Password=a;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=a;Data Source=mydb

        Jeremy, do you have any examples of using pooled connections with active server pages? I'd like to be able to at least point them in the right direction.... and also have the information myself          

        many thanks

        Bob
