ODBC connection failing

First of all i apologise if this is in the wrong area. My problem is as follows. I had set up a couple of aspx pages on our webserver which accessed a sql database on another server. These pages were set up using frontpage 2003 and everything worked fine. A week ago the pages stopped working giving the error "Server Error in '/' Application". As far as I know nothing has been changed on the servers. On top of this frontpage has started having connection problems. Frontpage will connect to the database but is unable to access the fields giving the following error.

Server error: Unable to retrieve schema information from the record source ' NAME' in a database using the connection string:

'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=servername;DATABASE=live;UID=********;PWD=********'.

The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.
-----------------
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'NAME'.

Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Number: -2147467259 (0x80004005)

I have been trying for the past few days to solve this one, but am reasonable new to SQL, so this may be an easy one.

Hope someone can help me

If all your pages are in aspx you might want to use the native support for SQL Server and use a SQL Connection string. Also, you might want to move your code to .NET.|||I appreciate the info, but i still need to solve my current problem.|||can you post your connectionstring and some code.|||

Here is the full global.asa page generated by Frontpage. I know the connection string is correct as all my other office apps can connect and work on any of the tables in this database without a problem, frontpage is the only one that will not access the tables, although it can see the tables. On top of this the webserver will aslo not access the tables either. For whatever reason Frontpage will no longer access the tables, when it used to quite happily. We do have another SQL DB on another server which it will connect to no problem, so I am wondering if it is a security issue, but I have been unable to find any settings between the two servers which are different.

|||Sorry I got side tracked. I have no idea what to suggest. Are you creating an Access DB from your code? I see some Jet OLEDB and SQL OLEDB related connection strings.|||No, no Access DB is being created. This script is just setting the environment for the site itself. I can paste in the coding for the page itself if you require, but all the connection information is in the above script anyway. But the strange thing is, like i mentioned before, if i open frontpage now and create a new site (or open a present one) frontpage will not open any table on this DB. It can connect OK but gives me the error "object does not exist" when i try and open the table itself. this is the same for any table and any DB on this server. I assumed it was a security setting but can not find anything that is set to block this user account from accessing the tables.
