Thanks, I read it and bookmarked it. It gives the same info that I've been seeing all week, except it's all on ONE PAGE!!!!

That's an ASP page used to edit a record.
HOWEVER...

I have eliminated the problem, and it looks like this:

Dreamweaver 'automatically' creates the ADO code necessary to create and reference a Recordset, based on some parameters you give it. It DOES NOT, however, create a discrete ADODB.Connection object via

Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

This means, apparently, that you can Close() the Recordset but NOT, the Connection.

Solution:
I added a Connection opener immediately BEFORE the Recordset is created:

Dim oConn
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.ConnectionString=MM_RushForms2k3_STRING (include File: VFPOLEDB provider)
oConn.Open

Then, at the end of the page where the Recordset is Closed(), I also Close the Connection:

oConn.Close()
Set oConn = Nothing

Thanks again for the ear and the direction. It helped me solve this problem.
