I could add that I am sure it is bombing at $rsRecordset=$cmdCommand.Execute() in the UDF. Back to the original issue which is to make use of wkix32 is there an older version of wkix32 that I could use that may get me around the problem? How about a way to include kix32 in the kixcrypt crytped file so it will run on its own.. possible?

code:
function DBExecuteSQL($objConn, $sql, optional $cmdType)
  dim $cmdCommand, $rsRecordset
  dim $adCmdUnspecified, $adCmdText, $adCmdTable, $adCmdStoredProc, $adCmdUnknown, $adCmdFile, $adCmdTableDirect

  $adCmdUnspecified = -1
  $adCmdText        = 1
  $adCmdTable       = 2
  $adCmdStoredProc  = 4
  $adCmdUnknown     = 8
  $adCmdFile        = 256
  $adCmdTableDirect = 512

  if vartype($cmdType)
    $cmdType=val($cmdType)
  else
    $cmdType=$adCmdText
  endif

  if vartype($objConn)<>9 or $sql=''
    exit 87
  endif

  $cmdCommand = CreateObject('ADODB.Command')
  if @ERROR
	exit @ERROR
  endif

  $cmdCommand.ActiveConnection = $objConn
  if @ERROR
	exit @ERROR
  endif

  $cmdCommand.CommandType = $cmdType
  if @ERROR	
	exit @ERROR
  endif

  $cmdCommand.CommandText = $sql
  if @ERROR
	exit @ERROR
  endif

  $rsRecordset=$cmdCommand.Execute()
  if @ERROR
	exit @ERROR
  endif
  $cmdCommand=''
  $rsRecordset=''
  $DBExecuteSQL=@ERROR

endfunction
