Re: DB2 UDB connection failed -- MIDRANGE-L

This issue ended up being caused by two problems. The first was that 
DB2Connection was not part of the db2 trial that I had downloaded. I was 
told to use the Enterprise Server for Windows. The 2nd problem was due to 
the user ( ASPNET ) that the IIS server on my PC runs as not having 
authority to executable files in the DB2 directory.

This was the trace that the IBM support tech had me run that identified the 
authority problem:
db2trc on -f trace.dmp 
<reproduce the problem-try to connect from ASP .NET> 
db2trc off 

For those interested, here is the code of a simple .aspx file which displays 
the contents of an as400 database file in a grid in the browser:
