I don’t know how many times I’ve heard of this issue, but it never happened to me…until recently, that is. What a bummer! I was trying to get into the Admin interface of our QC app when I received it. I tried a lot of different things…unregistering/re-reg... the DLL, rebooting, etc. I tried a lot of the solutions online involving checking permissions on the file, my rights, etc. Finally, I looked at the problem from a different direction.

I actually got a day off after three weeks of 80+ hours. How blissful. <sigh> Unfortunately, the project came in on a wing and a prayer. Just some interesting statistics: We have over 1100 features.
