Thanks, your program worked very smoothly, and it appears data has been copied. I'll go through it now and check for missing records and identity values.

I haven't looked at all tables, but it at least appears the identity values were not corrupted. Very nice, thanks for the excellent program.

I still don't have any Rss data on the home page, after adding a webpart in shared mode, just the label "Latest Articles". At least I can move on to explore other possibilities, whatever they may be.

Looking at your site http://www.ericengler.com, I don't see any Rss on the home page. Did you have that working at one time?

I'm running IE 6.0.2900.2180 Service Pack 2. I haven't upgraded to 7.0, since I figure most others haven't, but I wonder if the Rss would show up if I upgraded to 7.0, since it has some Rss feedreader features.

An exception is thrown in Controls/RssReader.ascx.cs in DoBinding() which I have traced to the statement:

feed.Load(GetFullUrl(this.RssUrl));

GetFullUrl is equal to "http://www.jgkarate.ewdtestsite.com/GetArticlesRss.aspx"

The exception displayed at the top of Default.aspx:
"The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.jgkarate.ewdtestsite.com'"

I changed the catch block as follows:
catch (Exception ex)
         {
             Response.Write(ex.Message + "<br />");
             while (ex.InnerException != null)
             {
                 Response.Write(ex.InnerException.Message + "<br />");
                 ex = ex.InnerException;
             }
             //this.Visible = false;
         }

I haven't figured out what is causing this...
