I just restarted my computer and got the same thing (the server and my test environment are on the same machine).

Here's a bit more info that may or may not help:

It appears my problem may be with a file operation I'm attempting. Here's the code:

dim gnfilehandle  as system.io.filestream
gnfilehandle = fopen(str_savedfile)   'this works fine at this point...file opens normally
dim g_len as integer = gnfilehandle.length -1  'this is the line that stops

Once I hit the last line there, the system sits for about 15 seconds, then my watch box shows that the gnfilehandle.length now shows "error:cannot obtain value." Between the fopen statement and the bottom line, the watch showed the correct length. My file "disappears"

the file is in the Windows/temp directory.

Remember that yesterday this all worked correctly.

ugh.
