Re: File or assembly name XXX, or one of its dependencies, was not found

Hi All,

Another piece of information (maybe useless):

I'm catching the exception mentioned previously. After the exception occurs,
other forms that I try to load (from other DLLs) throw the same exception.
Once I restart the app, the other forms load fine.

Regards,
Lee
