I am currently running "Windows SharePoint Services SP1" configured to
access a SQL 2000 SP3 database on a seperate server; both servers are
running Windows 2003 SP1. We have several internal users who cannot
access a particular subsite, which they have permission to access, and
they get the following error:

"Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E2F.

Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services."

They only thing I found that might be relevant from searching
Microsoft's knowledge base is the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=841216

However, I'm not 100% sure if this applies to my scenario. Any
thoughts anyone?

You are getting a different error message to the one in the KB article you
quote.

Instead do a Google search using this

0x80040E2F AND WSS

as the search criteria

You will get a lot of seemingly relevant articles to wade through.

Yeah, I tried searching based on that criteria, but I get no results.
If I omit "WSS" or "SharePoint" I do see a lot hits referencing SQL,
obviously, but nothing really referencing SharePoint. I'm trying out
different search parameters to see if I get lucky.

That's very odd because - before I posted my reply - I did exactly that
search in the Google Search bar and got plenty of hits (many of which looked
relevant)

My mistake, I was performing the search on "Google Groups" as opposed
to a basic Google search. Yes, I know see some links which are
relevant to my issue...Thanks.
