I've commented out all code that uses the Help reference, but still get the error.&amp;nbsp; When I remove the Help reference completely it goes away.&amp;nbsp; How am I still getting this error even when I don't have code that uses the reference?</description><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jul 2006 14:25:13 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Andria Jensen</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: DataSourceKey not defined</title><link>http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost1962.aspx</link><description>Even if you do not have any code that references a data source key, it might be that a shared property or shared method references the key.&amp;nbsp; Since the DataSources collection is stored in a shared variable, it exists in memory from the time that the application starts to the time that the application ends.&amp;nbsp; So, just by referencing the DLL, it could be trying to reference that key.</description><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jul 2006 14:25:13 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>StrataFrame Team</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
