Hi David, This is Windows XP with SP2 and all the latest patches from Windows Update applied. The SQL Compare version is 5.1.0.80 and the SQL Data Compare version is 5.1.0.106. Note that I verified with SQL Compare but have seen them with SQL Data Compare. I think you may be on to something with the tooltip. Here are steps I use to reproduce: 1. Launch SQL Compare (or SQL Data Compare) 2. The Comparison Projects dialog is displayed. 3. Click on New or Edit to display the Project Configuration dialog. 4. Mouse over any active buttons to try to get the tooltip to display (e.g. Compare Now, Cancel) and the exception will happen. However, note that which button causes the exception is not consistent. For example, sometimes the tooltip will display on the Compare Now button but the exception will happen while waiting for the tooltip to display on the Cancel button. Or the Compare Now button will throw an exception right away. 5. I am also able to get this to happen on the Comparison Projects dialog as well. Same process - mouse over the buttons looking for tooltips and some will display and then one will cause an exception. It is never consistent as to which one. I installed 5.1 on my laptop as well to see if I can reproduce these issues. I can but not nearly with the same frequency. The laptop is also Windows XP SP2 with all the latest Windows updates. Both machines were recent fresh installations so haven't had time to accumulate much junk yet. There are two other exceptions I get as well in addition to the initial one I reported. The first one (EXCEPTION 1 below) happens when clicking Cancel on the Project Configuration dialog. The steps to reproduce are: 1. Launch SQL Compare (or SQL Data Compare) 2. The Comparison Projects dialog is displayed. 3. Click on either New or Edit to display the Project Configuration dialog. 4. Click Cancel and you get the exception below. This happens very consistently - sometimes it doesn't do it but the exception happens about 85% of the time. The second exception (EXCEPTION 2 below) happens when clicking Cancel on the Project Configuration dialog. The steps to reproduce are: 1. Launch SQL Compare (or SQL Data Compare) 2. The Comparison Projects dialog is displayed. 3. Click Compare Now with a project highlighted in which one of the databases is non-existent. 4. If you don't get the tooltip exception and the comparison is attempted, you get EXCEPTION 2 below. Let me know what other info I can provide to help. Thanks, Dave EXCEPTION 1 See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text **************
