Upgrade to Server 2003

[Jay]

I know this issue does not go here, but I'm not sure where else to ask this
question. Please point me to newsgroup more suited.

Is there a Server 2003 group that handles issues with upgrades? Thank You so
much for your help in advance.

My client just upgraded their network from Novell to Server 2003. Their
customer management system is written in visual basic 6.0. Only the
database resides on the server and now 3 out of 7 xp client machines are
having problems accessing the database. The error message is "Connection
can not be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid
in this context."

I was able to reproduce this message on my local machine (not at the client
site) by denying read access to the database from the currently logged in
user. This tells me that it is a permission problem with Server 2003.

Any help toward this end would be very much appreciated!

Thank You

Jay,

I believe that the server-specific newsgroups are any group starting
with:

microsoft.public.windows.server

Hope this helps.
