Right. I have found that "unloading" the application does allow me to
replace the dll, but when I click the "unload"
button I get the "all applications in the application pool will be stopped"
(paraphrased). What is the definition of the "application pool". IOW, will
this stop OTHER applications running on the server?

TIA,

Larry Woods
