We had similar problems that were resolved by reverting the 6.1 database
drivers to the 6.0+ version available at the related TechNote
(http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/cfmx61_sqlserver_cpu.htm).
Unfortunately, MM has removed the 6.0+ drivers in that TechNote and replaced
the download to point to the new DataDirect 3.3 drivers. Perhaps you'll have
luck with those, but we continued to have problems, so we're still on the
6.0+ drivers.

Dave.
