From the call center dashboard, I click the My Activities tab. When I click GoTo for any of the activites in the grid I get a popup error that says: Could not run the 'Show Screen In Popup' command, as there was a problem locating the Screen 'Add / Edit Activity'.

Updates are up there now (we were about to do an update anyway). Want to give it a try?

Thanks Paul. Can you please let me know when you have that updated, so I can change my code to handle the duplicates.

 Thanks Matt. Looks like the problem was that you were inserting records like "Friday" into a table that already had "Friday".  Since that table had the field marked as unique, it caused a unique index violation. So there's you reason. We'll put more info on the returned message so that you actually get ...
