Hello Sahil,

Thank you for your suggestion. My app is already a console app. Even if it
was not a console app, and your suggestion worked, I cannot simply leave my
server in a state where my app cannot create a DataTable! The ability to
create a DataTable is too basic to use a workaround.

I've found my problem. For those who may be interested, it was a permission
problem. There is code in the app to impersonate a user account on the
server. Before the impersonation, I can create a DataTable. After the
impersonation, I cannot. I was able to fix the problem by adding the user
account to the Administrators group. The user cannot remain part of the
admin group, but at least this tells me the problem is a permissions issue.
Why a user needs any permissions in order to create a DataTable is beyond
me. In any case, I'm just happy that I found it.

Regards,
John
