That may have been it after all. We went into the MySQL administrator and changed the max queries per hour per user from 100 to 10000... that seems to be working for us right now.

But thanks for the tip on the new MySQL SDK. 5.1 has a new libmysql.dll and it might be easier to attack this from the ground up instead of building on legacy code. Even if we do have to rebuild completely, Destop's and your work will be of great help. After all, things are easier once you know they CAN be done.

More to come but for now, the max quries change has apprearently stablized things.
