What's a WAM Message

Hi.  I've got an NT 4.0 server running cold fusion.  Lately in the event log for the system I am seeing numerous messages from source "WAM".  What is WAM?  And example error message:

"The HTTP server was unable to load the ISAPI Application 'e:\corporate\site\scripts\..S5c..\Admin.dl'  The data is in error.l"

...and can you shed any light at all on the error message?

Thanks xSinbad.  Your answers give me some insight into the WAM messages.  What I am seeking in the end is - what traffic would be coming into the server to trigger these?  The server is running Cold Fusion.  If I knew what kind of inbound traffic triggered these WAM messages - I could block it.  Thoughts?  If not - I'll give you the points for at least shedding some light on the WAM source.
Hey mmedwid hows it going?

I still receive occasional WAM messages.  Never did figure out precisely what triggers them.  Hmm.

Did you update you MDAC to resolve this, otherwise it could be anything that is triggering the error it is very hard to tell.
