>Hello Bonnie, I think you're right about "it's a rights issue" I set the local intranet rights to full trust ( we are not on the web ) and the problem went away !, thanks. BTW did you read my other post on using System.Reflection ?

Yes, I did see that other post ... sorry I didn't reply but I was busily getting ready to take a week's vacation at the time. =)
