It happens after I connect to the server and the connection dialog goes
away.

The problem does not occur if I press the Cancel button at the connection
dialog. But the problem does occur if I thereafter attempt to connect from
within the DTA.

I tried using the command-line and had the same problem.

It's a very vague message. Similar to Todd, I get the following:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Progr...
R6031 Attempt to initialize the CRT more than once. This indicates a bug in
your application.

Yes, both dtaengine90.exe and DTASHELL.EXE are loaded. My only recourse is
to kill both processes.
