I guess the COM wanted the connection open:-).

There used to be a guy on this board, JVP, but he is no longer participating. However, he has written some [very good] white papers:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnfoxgen/html/adojump.asp

There is a RecordSet property called Editmode. It might help you a bit if you read JVP's paper at the above URL.

Who is "rush/html/Admin_UserEdit.asp"? Is this your COM, or a vendor's?

You migt try setting step on, and assure yourself that your references and data types are as they should be.

You'll get it - something is missing - and it will eventually bubble it's way up. You're sure it's not a firewall issue?
