Could you move your Windoze client VB/SQL scripts to a more stable machine - like a Win2K machine?

I'm not sure if I can give any more guidance than what Borf is giving. If the scripts are simple enough for you to find the SQL commands, running them manually or making a script in Perl or Python to run on the server might work. But back up everything first and make sure you know exactly what's going on before you do this.

BTW, don't try this over an @Home cable modem connection for the next few days. The judge gave Excite@Home permission to shut their entire network, so they can extort more money out of the cable providers (AT&T, Comcast, etc.)

Also I'm for temporarily shutting down TFL if that will help you.
