Not so much from NS but possibly through NS if they are the ones that provide the SQL software (don't know if that would be MySQL or some other flavour) and or if they provide any MS Frontpage functionality on site.

Well alt least we aren't getting an alert, did a quick check on the Leslie and Kelly links and you have another problem an error, see image, OLE DB error. What would concerns me more however, is the information given in that error, I don't know if that gives too much info, e.g. your username, if that couldn't be used to try and gain access.

When I set up the database about six years ago the password rules were a little more relaxed than they are now. When I went in make some changes today NS forced me to change my PW. Needless to say, I just now remembered to change all my include files on the web site so if anyone was checking my work and got a SQL error – well it’s fixed.

You guys are pretty sharp. Of course I fixed the error (check last post) but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen again. I’ll have to do some homework to see how to mask the errors. At least the PW doesn’t show up. It is MS SQL 2005. Thanks.

Pondus, thanks for the tips, I'll do some homework. I've been with NS for so long and never had any trouble before yesterday I think I just got lazy.

Well MS SQL 2005 must be positively ancient depending on what version, Server or Express/Lite, etc. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=MS+SQL.

So if your version is the latest ensure that you have any updates that are available.
