SQL: ODBC Error Code = 08001 (Unable to connect to data source)
mmmmm, Does anyone have a clue why this error comes about, - my customers have a link to a SQl server where they download a toon to a portion of their site - almost like banner adds - but they're comming up with this error:
ODBC Error Code = 08001 (Unable to connect to data source)
why could this be?

Andy,
I can't find this error code in my SQL Online documentation but it only covers the Microsoft SQL Servers, sounds like maybe you're using something else?
Try pinging the database server to make sure it's active. If you're on a shared database server maybe it was just experiencing some downtime.
