>Once in a while I get an email-error message which points to the application not being able to read the application .DBC file. I see this in the email error message description. It happens when the application tries to fill the Cursor Adapter (CA). Usually the code executes a SQL Select with the WHEN 1=0; that is, just getting an empty cursor. Later the application would fill the empty cursor with the data (depending on some other criteria).

I solved this problem by changing the error alert email address to point to someone who's a lot younger than I am.

If that option isn't available have you tried several retries?
