Error while configuring StrataFrame design-time data sources

I am getting the following error when I open up any project using StrataFrame references:

An error occurred while configuring the StrataFrame design-time data sources.  It still opens up to the project, but when I go to StrataFrame->Database Connections to check the configuration it doesn't do anything.  The window doesn't come up...nothing.  I'm attaching a screenshot of the error message.

More info....when I get the project open and try to go to the BO Mapper, I get the attached error messages.  First the SQL Connection Failure message, then Error1, Error2, then when I go to close the mapper (since I can't click anything in it, and no data is there), I get the Error3.

It seems most likely that your application connection strings file has become corrupted.  Try renaming the two *.dat files within the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MicroFour\Connection Data\ to .old and re-opening the business object mapper.  It should ask you to re-configure your connection string.  If that fixes the problem, then the two *.dat files are corrupted. 

I'll see if I can't figure out how they became corrupted and figure out a way to fix the problem in the upcoming release.

Yep, looks like that fixed it!  Thanks for your help!  You guys are always on top of things.
