Fred, getting an error
2005-12-05
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers- Error '80040e37'

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.1.13a-nt]Table 'rantburg.tblopinion' doesn't exist

/Default.asp, line 1081

This is coming up a lot. Firefox browser on WinXP SP2.

Comes up when I click articles too - no text at all is showing up, no ads, nothing else on the page but the list of articles and number of posts (posts in column left).
Should be fixed now. It's going to present a problem when we switch to Linux, though. I guess that'll give me something else to do with my spare time.

#18  I'm fairly certain it's just an annoying timing problem. Did you remember to use the little tube of lube on the digital distributor? I'm available most Saturdays to help. I'd prefer warm sunny weather, but in an emergency I suppose we could crack open a the case and borrow Red Neck Jims MB hoist. I assume you have an outdoor fireplace? What's the parking situation? We might need help. I'll start drawing up contengencies and making flow charts.

#17  If it doesn't work, patent it. Micrososft will then try to buy it off of you.

#16  Fred - if it works... patent it.

#15  I rebuilt the way the headlines/comments are handled on the front page. Rather than using one complex query, I'm using three small ones and an array.

I've been worried about handling our ASP pages when we switch to Linux. I've come up with a pretty simple solution that I'm going to run on the test server this evening. It should work, since this fix does.

Thanks Fred, it seems to be fixed.
I had this problem since yesterday and till 08:40 today. I just emptied the cache and history and everything is fine. It seems that the font has changed to a more eye friendly one :)

#10  Yep, me too. Win XP Pro.

Odd thing is that when RB first comes up, and gives errors The comment count is to the left of the article list in a larger, bolded font and the articles are unreachable.

When I click on the Page 1: WoT at the top, I get a different index with the comment count back on the right and the whole thing in a smaller bolded font. Oh yeah, the colors on the article titles and the comment counts flip-flop. What's on the left is in red and the right is blue.

#9  I think connection thread initialization is the problem. Once you are going it is better.

#8  I have gotten the same. I click on a year ago and once it comes up the error is gone. Then I click back to today and everything is fine.

#7  Same problems here with Firefox 1.0.7.
Posted by: Darrell   2005-12-05 07:15  

#6  yes, I'm getting this too. Earlier today it wouldn't allow me to open up articles either. Making a few attempts every few hours or so.
Hope you're able to fix it without too much brain damage.
My grandma always said, "you've got to hold your mouth right" while trying to accomplish something. So good luck to you while holding your mouth right heh.

#4  Problem
Fred, I am getting the same error on I.E. 5.5, Windows ME.

Solution
1) The database table rantburg.tblopinion does not exist.
2) Or the name of the table is spelled wrong in the code, tblopinion is the incorrect spelling for the table in the code.
3) Or the name of the table in the SQL database is not spelled tblopinion.

That'll fix it.

#2  I'm getting the same thing with Camino and Safari under OS X.

#1  One of the mods is having a similar problem (not me). If anyone is having this problem please post a comment here.

OS: may I ask you to try IE6 and see if you have the same problem? Thx.
