Hi Peter,

I can't tell you why you're getting this error, but I can tell you where to
look for an answer, and I can tell you what the "Application" referred to
is. The Application is the ASP.Net worker process that is running. In IIS,
you can configure a virtual directory as an Application. This means that all
ASP.Net pages in or under this folder (that are not in another folder
configured as an Application) run their code in the same Application Domain,
or memory space.

As to what is causing this, I don't know. But here is a link to a bunch of
Knowledge Base articles about the subject:
