I am having a weird problem on my site with the WWF. My ISP is having problems with OLEDB connections for some reason, but the DSN based connections are fine. So as an interim solution I switched my connection for the WWF to use a DSN, and it seems many pages do not render properly.

Do the WWF use some DB code that is that ODBC compliant?

The forum has been written to use the faster OLEDB driver, in DSN connections there are issues and as nearly everyone will use the OLEDB driver DSN connections are not support or properly tested.
