Sometimes remote scripting can also cause problems..and try not closing the connections and forgetting the movenext..things like that..but still I don't think crashing the server..may be slowing down the server..there is something called timeout..that would errorout..may be too many users that server cannot handle can bring the server down..
One time when our server was down..I don't know if thats crashing.. The error we had was w.r.t RemoteScripting which is primary cause of Bringing down the server...but that was the only time it happened..and we still use the same code and the server is not down.. -----Original Message----- From: GLSmyth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 9:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ASP] Can I Crash A Server Bob - We use SQL Server, but I assume that that would be the same thing. I was thinking of that - looping connections without closing them - and am actually in the process of seeing if there are any programs where I forgot to close the connection (none found yet). That would involve some backwards code (you normally open the connection, then loop through the records) but I guess that is something that could cause problems.
