believe me I know. I'm coming up on graduation myself in May
I graduated with an MSc 6 years ago - this one is for work... which makes it a pig cos I can't blag my way through this one - and I have to make sure the french delegates understand it but good luck on the graduation anyway!

as for the engine exception error - you got me on that one - I've never heard of it either - does the log say which files it was scanning when you got the error - that might give us a clue?
