Greg,

I think the problem is because you're opening the connection and leaving it open. This is not something you want to do unless you're working with a Transaction. If you are simply filling DataSets or DataTables in a DataSet, then the DataAdapter.Fill() method automatically opens and closes the connection as needed. Can you post more of your code?
