jkinggrim, thanks - I was having other problems with the framework SP1 - it was causing another app that depends on having CF 2.0 to run erratically. I switched back to plain 2.0 and everything is working *perfectly*. So I think something either went awry with my install of SP1 - odd right after a hard reset! - or there's something weird going on with that service pack. Either way, I unfortunately can't devote time to delving into it more closely for the next couple of weeks, but I'm happy to report that with framework 2.0 it's great again, just like it always was.

I'm excited to see your Pro version come out!
