Posting Problem
Whenever I post a reply I get this message:
"There was an error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect
syntax near '='. Use you back button to correct the problem."
If I ignore it, as I always do, I find that my message has gone through anyway. I guess if I used my back button as directed, I'd get a multiple post. It's been happening for some time and I haven't worried about it too much except that it's affecting my post count <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. It hasn't gone up since the problem started and I reckon I should be up to about 290 by now <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Is it something I'm doing wrong or a software problem?

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

How very strange. It didn't happen when I posted that last message, but did when I posted a reply to the "Ladybug" thread a minute or so before. I wonder if it's a "cookie" problem. Let's see what happens when I post this.

Ok, I'm going to take a stab. The Object database connector (ODBC) SQL Server Driver is a software driver than translates data between two unique Stuctured Query langauge (SQL) databases. These little codecs reside on the client side PC. They gernrally are customized to translate between two specific databases. This allows for proper syntax matching.
It is possible that the folks with this error message have a ODBC driver(s)loaded on their PC, that gripes with uploading to the Forum SQL server, due to a header configuration conflict. The posts are OK, but the client PC gripes anyway.
I hit this server from about five different boxes, but I know each box's configuration and square up the ODBC in the control panels.
In short, It may be client-side rather than server side.
Hope this helps, I tried to keep the techie talk to a minumum.
Then again, it could be due to solar flares.

Mmmmmmm...I think I might have the answer. I'm in the habit of going to "Show topics for the last day" and clicking on "Go". When I do that I always get the error message. However, today I opened up the forums individually and there was no error message when I posted. You beauty, now my post count will start ticking over again, look out Samo and Carlos <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
