Weird Database/Web Problem

[Andy Smith]

You haven't specified how you're kicking the script off, but one thing that
might cause it is if your ODBC connection is a 'user' connection, and the
webserver isn't running as you. If this is the case then delete the 'user'
connection and create an identical Machine or system connection and
everything should be hunky-dory.

Cheers,

A.
