Thanks Patrick & Nello but unfortunately neither of your suggestions are true. I have tried this approach already, anyway Outlook Express does an automatic dialup every 30 minutes which would suggest that these settings are OK. The problem occurs on several machines that I have tested under Win 2000 (both Professional and Advanced Server), yet I run other software incorporating the same component on a few hundred other machines around the country without this kind of problem; however the existing version of the software does not run under MDAC 2.6 because of the ADO bug, so I have not exposed widely to Win 2000 before.
