CreateObject Exception error

[Ben McGaughey]

I am getting a CreateObject exception error C0000005
Looks like this:

The CreateObject of '(null)' caused exception C0000005

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : c0000005'

Server.CreateObject Failed

The code is simply:
Set dbc = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

From what I gather, this would mean that my connection to
the database is gone, but I don't get the error all the
time. The DB is on another machine that I create an ODBC
connection to. What could spawn such an error? Am I
right about the connection?

Thanks,

Ben,
If it fails creating the ADODB.Connection object, then the connection was
never made. Not sure what would cause it, especially if it is intermittant.
Do you have any sample code that can reproduce the problem? Here all I
could find on the error. I hope this is informative.
