It seems that PHP is getting confused unless I post the $database = mssql_select_db("database", $connection) or die ('DB selection failed'); before the query. This is probably due to the fact that I am pulling information from multiple databases (Two MSSQL and One Informix) So if my query just starts out with $sql = "Select * from..." it doesn't really know which connection to use.
OK, that's more than a little annoying. I wish you'd mentioned that 
you're using multiple database connection, this would have been so much 
easier.
The mssql_query function can take the connection resource as a second 
parameter. This also goes for every other database function. If you're 
using multiple database connections you *need* to be passing that in. In 
fact, even if you're not currently using multiple connections I would 
recommend that people always pass the connection resource to the DB 
functions - it saves a lot of headaches if you ever need to use a second 
connection.
