Hi Cliff,

As you perhaps suspected, it appears there is a problem with your skin. In some scenearos, ASP.Net will restrict a controls control collection from being modified, and this is what is occurring. So, you need to (a) look in the code associated with the skin, or (b) look at the code assocated with a *control* on the skin.

A quick way to figure out the culprit would be:

1) Eliminate everything in your skin file, except what is absolutely necessary
2) See if the skin will now load
3) Add controls and markup back into your skin, until it breaks

Use this method to isolate exactly what is causing the problem. We can go from there.

I'd also google "The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks." This error isn't a DNN one, and you'll need to understand why it occurs once you DO find what control is causing it.

Hope this helps!
