Thanks for throwing me a bone CAB
I repaired the PC3 files and reset the dwt I was importing from.
I have been testing and using too many environments lately and corrupted the core files somewhere along the way.
I have Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop because I hated Vista home premium so badly, (HP model DV7-1285dx)
tested some items with MEP 2010, ... just too many places things could have gone wrong.
I'll try your tweak.
I have a 3 day weekend coming up with the Mrs.
Think I will take some time to debug all of my system this weekend on XP and W7.
I doubt I will look at MEP 2010 for at least a year.
I am also cancelling the MEP 2009 upgrade.
Crashes while publishing where 2007 doesn't.
It amounts to file bugs with their version control issues as near as I can tell.
Not worth the Maintenance costs of installing the software,
reinstalling the DotNet frameworks only to have the bug still happen.
Really makes objectivity or goals difficult to maintain from a systems management perspective.
