    smtp,

    What code? Errors are not usually one line of code. They generally are a series of conditions that lead to one line having a problem.

    Post some code.

    This was happening to me as well.

    In VB I create two things that compromise my program.
    1. .dll
    2. .exe

    I made a code change in the .dll and simply wanted to push out the new .dll to my users that operate the program. As soon as I replace the .dll the executable complains with the error listed here.

    To fix this, I needed to recompile the .exe. It was almost like the .exe creates a checksum with regards to the .dll reference.

    I don't know if this fits your symtoms, but it worked for me.

    That is because you are not using Binary Compatibility OR you are using Binary compatibility and have changed a function/sub definition.

    VB does present message boxes about this when it is happening but you do have to read them...
