Hi Thad, I just tested again. I cleared the Timezone on my login preference record. I connected to our Windows 2000 (SP4) server and tried the Mid-Tier. NO 'caught exception'. I just tested a Windows 2003 server (SP1) also. NO 'caught exception' error. I then tried from my Windows XP machine again and I got the 'caught exception' problem.
What BMC support told me at one point was that the login java script was being bypassed - this was actually happening before I applied Patch 20 on the Mid-Tier BUT AFTER I applied the Windows OS and Java DST patches. My problem at this time was that anyone logging into the Mid-Tier was seeing +6 hours on all the times - even though all the machines were set to CST. This problem went away when I installed Patch 20 but the 'caught exception' problem started.

I just tested this on XP, Windows 2000 sp4, and Windows 2003 and received the error on all three. Are you sure you had cleared the Time Zone field of your user preferences record when you tested on the Windows 2000 machine?

The problem only seems to be happening from Windows XP machines. When I access the Mid-Tier from a Windows 2000 server, it does not happen. To solve the problem temporarily, I added a User Preference record for each user and set the Locale Timezone value in the record to America/Chicago (since all our users are on Central Standard Timezone). Based on what Lynn did, I'm going to try to re-install Patch 20 by manually replacing the files instead of re-running the installers. BMC suggested Patch 21 also (limited release) but I'm not ready to try that yet based on Thad still having the same problem. Thanks for all the valuable information.
