ASP Error: ODBC Driver General Error

Why Trust Us

Question:
I have been receiving the following (albeit general) error sporadically:

"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80004005'	[Informix][Informix ODBC Driver]General error."

This error has occurred when the code accesses the datasource: (set conn = server.createobject (“ADODB.connection”): conn.open “DatasourceName”.

However, it happens only occasionally when using ASP. Cold Fusion does not yield the same type of error. Any suggestions?

Answer:
I have no idea about this problem. Since it is sporadic and not found in Cold Fusion, I would suggest that it is a problem in your development environment and not with Informix.
