    Steven,

    Thank you for the ideas. I checked everything you mentioned and it is all
    set up correctly on the server. I was reading through the links you
    provided and noticed that there was a mention about making sure you were
    linking to the dll inside of the project itself. When I checked the
    location of the reference I noticed that it was referencing the
    IEWebControls in another project. So, I copied the DLL to the bin of the
    project I am working on and linked to that with a reference. I tested the
    program on several computers and noticed that on Windows 98 workstations it
    will work fine if I use the actual name of the server (http://
    name>/<virtual directory>), but if I use the IP address instead of the
    server name it will only show the menu as text. In addition, my XP
    workstation (which I am using for development), will not render the site
    properly no matter how I try to access it. There is only one other XP
    workstation in the company right now (although we will be converting to XP
    by the EOY) and that machine will show the menu correctly if you use the
    server name, but not if you use the IP address.

    The really interesting thing about all this is that the problems I am
    describing above are only happening on the production server... everything
    works fine on the development server. Both servers are W2K Servers, so the
    obvious suspicion would be that there is something configured wrong on the
    production server. What can cause this type of a problem on a server and
    how can it be corrected?

    Schoo
