>Update:I just read your later post re: Inheritance and I guess this is relevant to that. Maybe something in the Init of the WebForm?

The Init() of the ASPX page does not exist. The only Init() is in the WebForm class and the code was provided as is.

>P.S I tried stress testing a simple VFPOLEDB connection here and can't get it to fail....

I am close to one million hits of testing on that and I am running out of ideas. The latest series of test I did today was to switch between code as is in the ASPX page and when using it from the DLL. As soon as I use it from the DLL, it is running extremely bad. There must be something sensitive in regards to the DLL/VFP provider as everytime I have this combination, it starts failing within a few minutes of testing.

I checked so far the connection string. This seems to be ok. The data has been packed and reindexed (from scratch) several times. I also blocked the server for only accepting my hits. When I did it, I was simulating the same set of errors. So, it is not related to foreign hits. It is also not related to simulatenous hit. As I mentioned before, this can happen just with one single hit.

In your test, have you tried to execute the relevant code from a DLL? Or, was everything inside the ASPX page?
