Hi, I have a server that is running msde sp3 on Windows 2003 sp1. When I execute a query from my machine on this server I get this error: tds protocol error. tds buffer lenght too large. I investigated on the internet and I found that it could be network problems, and some updates or patch pending to install. Do someone have any clu that can help me to fix this error. I have another servers with the same scenario, and they don“t give this error. Thanks a lot for your help. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
