>I get this with some projects when the dbc is included in the project. The only thing I can think of is that a user locks some part of the dbc (stored procedures) when the procedures have been stored in memory, and this prevents the procedures from being compiled. Removing the dbc from the project fixed the problem.

YES! That solved it! You are a life saver - thanks.
