Okay, this is driving me nutz

I had set up a major upgrade of a site from v3.2 to v4.0.2. Everything was working great on my local machine, so I detached the SQL2K database and re-attached it on my live server.  I copied up the code as well and recompiled it just to be on the safe side.  Now, anytime I try and log in I get a critical error (object reference not set to an instance of an object.).  I can't seem to register any new users either.

The error occurs within the signin.ascx.vb when trying to dim an new objAuthentication object and appears to fail on the AuthenticationController.

Stack Trace:

   at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData)
   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

Can someone please give me a hand with this... I'm sorta under the gun to get this up and running.

Thanks ahead of time,
Jordy

I like folks who are conscientious enough to come back and follow-up on their posts... especially when they're "doh" moments... *grin*

Hope this is helpful to you ( note it presumes forums is installed... you can remove that bit if necessary ).
