 I will do that, although I am not optimistic.  I get the same behavior
after multiple un-install and re-installs of several different versions of
VB.NET.  The local experts are stumped, but seem to think it has to do with
permissions.  I think that the local security nazi has tweaked something
with group profiles myself, but he doesn't know.

This looks interesting.  Sentence #2 .. "My biggest pet peeve with Web
Projects is that you cannot even open a .sln file if the virtual directory
mapping in IIS is not set up correctly." .. sounds exactly like my problem.

However, I am taking classes, and need to to it the way the instructor
wants, so I will have to try and get this fixed, or do development on
another computer.  My end goal is .NET apps talking over iSeries data.  I
have sent the propriator of the site to which you referred me an email to
see if he can shed any additional light.

I may end up putting a second PC in my office, which is in the domain, and
Remote Desktop to it when I need to be in the domain.  Then I leave my
laptop standalone, and do what I wish with it.

Oh, and if you're developing web apps on XP you owe it to yourself to get

I am going to check this out, but it is a bit ahead of me.  I am still
trying to get my first site going!

Thanks for the help.
