    Hello Roger

    Man thanks for responding to me. I appreciate it. You sound like you
    are up on this stuff. Anyway, when I go to the event viewer on the server
    I have three sections - Applications, Security, and System. Under the
    security
    section I do see "Failure Audits" from the past so I would say failure
    auditing is on.
    BUT there are no failure audits for this problem. In fact, I do not have
    any failure
    audits or errors listed in Application, Security, or System. There is
    nothing being
    logged in the event viewer when this happens. Not a thing.

    What I have been reading on this morning is EntryPoints and EntryPoints fail
    as I have read when there is a name conflict with custom DLLs and System
    DLLs
    OR when a method of a DLL cannot be found.

    Well, the DLL is not mine. It belongs to authorize.net. AND I guarantee
    you, in fact I know,
    that their DLL does not have bugs. I believe somehow permissions are
    getting distorted,
    blocked, garbled, confused, whatever and that is why re-starting IIS solves
    the issue.

    Thanks again for at least answering me :) I have posted this problem all
    over the place
    with little feedback.
