Hi, Kevin! To answer your earlier question, yes, the error was coming from the Send side. The error only occurs if the listening ( Connected ) application is not running and connection or if the Send( <name> ) specifies an incorrect name.
The problem was the difficulty of the PublisherId not being available in the debugger for my Sending app while my real listening app was running ( not in the debugger ). I will try your suggestion to use the -PubId argument to ADL. It has been painful doing deployment builds to test the code, since there is no debugger available. I resorted to adding debug code to write to a log file. I now am succesfully communicating bidirectionally between my two applications and have built the handshaking, acknowlegments, etc. needed to make it useful. Thanks for the help! Pete
