I had the same problem.  I had to hand script the ODBC connection in the web
code.  If you use a Data environment or any of the canned objects, the 2000
IIS server will choke on them.  Hand script the ODBC database connections in
your code and the problem will most likely go away.

Regarding this original problem:
I have managed to build a web front-end for our company intranet that
includes in it a couple of ODBC links to a local database.  I ran this
through PWS on a windows 98 Machine without any problems and the whole thing
was running sweet as a nut.  I then came to transfer it to one of our
servers which is running windows 2000 server, and that is where my problem
began....  The problem I have is that the pages including the ODBC links
either won't show up at all, or do, just pulling no information. I have
managed to verify that the ODBC Data Source is set up correctly (by using MS
Query to connect to it and retrieve the data), but unfortunately I am now a
little stuck as to what is causing the problem - anyone got any ideas?

I've tried the various ideas that you guys have thrown at me - the
IUSR_<servername> permissions, checking the properties on the database etc.
to no avail - has anyone got any more ideas?
