Hope i'm in the right group. I'm developing a small non-commercial website
to
run on windows 2000 pro with IIS. How many simultaneous users (approx) can
this handle and what happens to the end-user if server freezes from too
many
users?
(assume an upper end desktop configuration). The heart of the system will
be the
development of a data access COMPONENT (active exe rather than dll to
better
centrally control user data access. Also setting single thread rather than
multiple thread again to better control access from the program.) Any
Comments suggestions for improved efficiency would be greatly
appreciated).

thank you 

Say 10 users or so on a average server.

Understanding from your question about the .exe shows you do this the first
time possibly. Never use DCOM exes to 'centralize' data management from IIS
perspective.
Always use Apartment modeld COM servers (VB6 can create them) since the
Windows Platform _does_ optimzie your connections by pooling resources. So
forget all you learned about accessing SQL server through a db connection.
All this knowledge only is valid for single EXE files, not for IIS.

Each ASP page, can create it's own ADODB.Connection ( I assume you talk
about this) and close it afterwards.  If you have say 200 web asp sessions,
there will be an effective 10 (approximately) db connections active.
