Robin,

I did not get to try your solution coz .. the first thing our app does is
make a connection to the db so its going to break right there once I disable
the network.

Strangely I didnt face this problem today .. so I'm guessing its something
to do with changes others may have made to the project and the sequence of
the compile.

After I posted this messge y'day I found a solution which worked (atleast
y'day!) which incidently I was executing previously w/o executing step 1 for
a run time error we seem to face on occassion after a successful compile.

1. Shut down the IDE
2. Restart IIS
3. delete the VSWeb Cache directory

I now run a batch file (saved to my desktop and therefore the approp
commands) with the following.

iisreset
cd ..
cd VSWebCache\YOUR-MACHINE-NAME
del /Q /F /S *.*

PS: Name the batch file anything but iisreset!!!

I'll keep this posting updated if I find anything else.

Thanks for your response.
