Getting what error? You never did say. What is the line of code that errors and where is the code exactly?

So, this is in version 6.0...what version exactly? Look in the Help|About for the build #. If you haven't applied them, be sure to. SP 5 was the last one. I don't know that there was such a bug in an early release of 6.0...it's been a long time. But you'd want to be up-date anyway.
