I've seen thing similar in the past but not on the level you guys have. I've even experienced it here on my development machine... submit the form... variables don't get passed.
A simple reboot (my dev box... so both the client and server were on it... sorry) solved the problem in my case. I've only seen it happen twice. I have a feeling your problems are much more severe. Does this happen every single time or is it intermittent? -Novak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin S.
