Well, I have the exact same script running on 3 other servers, so I know the
script is working. I meant that I didn't want to take the time to create a
dataset within Visual Studio.NET's interface (since my SQL tables are not
owned by "dbo", and it's a pain to create them if the table is not owned by
"dbo".)

I'm thinking that when I had to force install MDAC 2.8, it did not set file
permissions properly. I went in to set all of the ODBC drivers to have full
access by ASPNET, IUSR and IWAM accounts, but that did not fix it yet.

Do you know what might need to be set to get this to work, or do you know
how I could force install MDAC through the setup program (I originally had
to do it file by file.)

I apologize too, I know I'm not answering your original question, I just
think your access problems will go away if you use ADO.NET :-)
