A question on ADO Connection

[Poornima]

I'm using a connection in my main application .In this application I use(instantiate) another ActiveX EXE to verify/Update some data in my main application. This Exe connects to the same server as my main application but to a different database. After I get the result from the Exe my connection has an error "Connection failure" in the errors collection of my connection object and I can no longer use this connection to do other things in my main application.
I'm using SQL Server 7.0 database.
Any help on this is appreciated.

Are you using the same connection between the two EXEs? (are you passing the connection by reference to the ActiveX EXE?)
