Yes, this is a .NET app, not and ASP.NET app. It's actually C#.NET. This
is a good thought, but this was not the problem. Here's what's wrong:
there's a typo in the connection string. It should be, "OLEDB:System
Database," not, "OLE DB:System Database." Doah!

I'm glad nobody noticed this. I feel dumb enough already. This is further
confirmation of one of my long-standing theories: the worst bugs are caused
by the dumbest mistakes. In other words, if you find yourself spending
hours on a problem, don't look for subtle explanations, look for glaring
errors!

Thanks for taking a look at this.

Regards,

Paul
