Rob-
    You just may want to check the scripts as they
suggested. One of the items you had listed was CDONTS which
does not release its memory unless the object calling it is
set to nothing. Probably the same thing would go for db
connection scripts.
    What I would do is talk to your host about restarting
the site. I would have them track your memory usage along
with the server lofgs to see if you can find out what
page/script is taking up memory and not releasing it

recieved from them.

: There is likely a script on your website that is taking
system memory for a

database connection. You
: should make sure that all your database connections are
being closed. That is
: about as far as I can help you with troubleshooting this
issue without an in

Your website is very
: heavily trafficked, making it difficult to locate a
specific script or file
: that could be causing this issue.
:
: With this response my question is how could my script
suddenly stop working
: properly after almost 4 months of no problems whatsoever.
:
: I am beginning to feel like the wonderful support they
promise is not as
: wonderful as advertised.
:
: Thanks for all who responded and anyone with any orther
ideas feel free to
: chime in.
