error displays on some boxes, not others

[russellbcopeland]

I am doing some error trapping and amongst other things my error trap displays a messagebox to the user... In this particular instance the error is being generated by a call to SQL server... (could be any sql error, timeout, network problem or even a sql proc issue that triggers the error) If the call gets an error everything else seems to happen except the message box is not displayed on some machines.

It appears that the message is displayed on my development boxes but not on my testing servers or production servers... I've done some checking and all the boxes are running the same version of the framework etc.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Are you running McAfee Antivirus? There was a bug in one of their releases about 6 months back that cuases .Net messageboxes to behaive oddly. There is a patch on their site.
