Ok, just tried that, but it didn't make a difference.  Also, SQL Server is running, but SQL Server Browser is not.  Actually, I'm not sure if it ever has.  Should I have that running also?

Gonna try reinstalling MDAC database drivers right now.  Do you know if adding an FTP site to IIS could have caused this issue?

One option I don't know if you have tried yet is reinstalling the MDAC database drivers.

Argh... the MDAC reinstallation didn't help, either.  I'm starting to be really irritated here.

I keep coming back to what could've broken it in the first place.  The only thing that changed on the server was MSFTP being installed.  We've uninstalled it (not that we should need to), and restarted the box.  Still no change.

Is there anywhere else I should be looking besides SQL?  Are you 100% that is the issue?

Fixed it.  I checked under Database_connection.asp and made note of the password for the SQL user running the db.  The password had not changed, but I re-entered the user password in the SQL management console, just in case.  That did the trick.

Now to figure out how that password got changed, and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Sounds like then the password expired.

In SQL Server Management Studio right click on the user and select 'Properties'., then in the 'General' sreen make sure that 'Enforce Password Expiration' is not checked, as for some reason this is checked by default if you do not uncheck it when creating a user in SQL Server.

If you do not do this then I would imagine you will have the same issue again in a month or so when the password expires again.

Sure enough, the box was checked.  I unchecked it. 

Hopefully this thread will help someone else in the future.  Thanks for all the help.
