Member Not Found

[swb]

Hi - I have a simple project that manipulates Adobe Illustrator that works
fine at home on Windows XP Pro (with admin login), but gives me an error
(error message and source code below) at work with Windows Pro 2000 (user
login). I'm a novice, so I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I
get "Member not found" still. What I've checked:

- Same version of Illustrator on both machines (v10)
- Same version of .NET on both machines (v1.1)
- Gave the assembly (both .exe and .dll) full rights with .NET Configuration
utility (at work)
- Made sure Interop.Illustr ator.dll is in same directory as app (as you can
see, the error message says it's loaded)

I don't think it's a security issue as the app does run, does load
Illustrator and does create a new document. But like I said, it works
perfectly fine at home.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Cliff
