Tim,
You must have brought me some good karma because when I went back to it to try to recreate the problem (I've been working on alternative solutions), not only did I not get that error but I was able to get it to work. Not a bad way to end the week. I'm still looking into another way to do this with everything handled in procedures but I'll start a separate thread for that. I have set things up to set through the MM framework code before, although I'll have to look up how to do that since it has been quite a while. Thanks for your help.

>>I have a form that allows the users to enter quite a few variables for selection criteria. Those are passed to a method in the business object. I am getting an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I try to run the form. I have checked to make sure that the class name matches and that there are valid values in each of the parameters being passed. I set a breakpoint to verify that the values are correct. The error occurs immediately upon executing the call to the business object. I have also tested the business object code in the test bench and it works correctly there. This code worked before switching to MM .NET 2.4. I have run out of ideas for things to try next. Any help is greatly appreciated.
