You need to find out how the vb app is stopping other things from working. It is presumably doing something that is either too resource intensive so the server can't process other requests or is holding locks on system tables.
I think with v2000 a select into statement could do this - but lo9ok for anything that is carried out in a transaction. If you already have a connection then yoou shoould be able to use it to access the system tables with nolock to see what is happening.
========================================== Cursors are useful if you don't know sql. SSIS can be used in a similar way. Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
