I am using WSS 3.0 and working with calculated fields in a list that constantly throws sql server errors and save conflict errors when trying save changes to calculated fields. These errors appear under a wide variety of conditions from editing a formula to just changing a calculated column name. I have searched the internet and these forums without finding any real explaination as to why this is happening.
If there is anyone who can shed some light on this it would be very much appreciated!!!
Some details on an example of the problem:
List contains 24 columns (6 calculated fields)
Have a calculated field named varESSAppNeeded, tried changing name to varESSRequest and it throws the SQL error:
SQL Server Error
The SQL Server might not be started.

OR sometimes it throws a save conflict error:
Save Conflict
Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. If you want your changes to be applied, click Back in your Web browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes.

Formula in the field I am trying to change is very basic which references a choice column with "Yes" as an option in it:
=IF([ESS Access]="Yes","1","0")
