Question

Hi Gurus,
I have this problem in my MS SQL Server 2012 that is running in SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit.. Not sure why... Here is the full details of the error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers 80040E14
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
/Libraries/DBA/DBA.asa, line 717
Line 717 is this:
rs.open destTableName,,,,adCmdTable
Full details of the code:
    'Field object used to iterate through each field of the rs
    dim rs, fld
    'call dbInitRS(rs)
    set rs = server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
    'On Error Resume Next
    'Open rs
    set rs.activeConnection = myConnection
    rs.cursorType = adOpenKeyset
    rs.lockType = adLockOptimistic
    'rs.open destTableName
    rs.open destTableName,,,,adCmdTable
    'if err.number <> 0 then
    '    goto HandleError
    'end if
    rs.addNew
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Still does not work. I have allow MSDSTC in my firewall list.
Hi dudskie,
Have you try to use DTCTester or DTCPing to verify MSDTC functionality over the network? Please refer to the following article:
Troubleshooting Problems with MSDTC:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561924.aspx
Use the DTCTester utility to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is installed on one of the computers. The DTCTester utility uses ODBC to verify transaction support against a SQL Server database. For more information about
DTCTester see How to Use DTCTester Tool.
Use DTCPing to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is not installed on either computer. The DTCPing tool must be run on both the client and server computer and is a good alternative to the DTCTester utility when SQL Server
is not installed on either computer. For more information about DTCPing, see
How to troubleshoot MS DTC firewall issues.
