Odd syntax error with shape queries SQL2000/Win2003

Hi,

I am running SQL Server 2000 SP3 on Windows Server 2003 and since recently
have a strange problem executing shape queries from COM+ components using
ADO.

Until 4 days ago, they worked, then from one moment to the next (I must have
changed something, but I have no clue what other than restoring a 1.2 GB
database) they started failing with this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
Syntax error or access violation

I have no problem executing non-shape queries, it is just the shape queries
that fail.

Any clues what may have gone wrong? Or how I can fix it?

Cheers,
Rsa Myh> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
> Syntax error or access violation

And apparently this had nothing to do with Win2003 or SQL Server or any
software at all... Just with a mistake in a setting of my own software...
The datasource string for the shape data source was invalid....

I'm hanging my head in shame..
