Re: Stumped on "Attempt to insert null object...." when connecting to DB

I've never done anything special with erprototypes, but it is in my other
projects and not causing any issues.  However, I did just remove it (the
ERPrototypes framework) from my project and the error goes away!  So you did
solve the issue...I just don't get what's different...but I'm not sure that
I care now. :)
Thanks for your time,

Lon
