Problem creating workspace using VB.Net

GlenW

I am currently creating a VB.Net object that will create a matter workspace when a new matter is created from our matter intake system (ASP.Net). This object will be a middle-tier business object that takes in all the paramters needed and returns the moniker of the newly-created workspace.

My boss wrote a prototype/proof-of-concept application as an example to me of how to do this. His prototype was working 2 weeks ago. Now, however, all I get in my app and all he gets in his prototype is an "Server was unable to process request. --> Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when attempting to create a workspace using the factory in Worksite.

The command looks like this:

_moniker = fcty.CreateWorkspace(gl._DBName, templateMoniker, _workspaceName, _description, _category, _defaultSecurity, aclItems, _
profileItems, notification, _profileErrors)

Values:
gl._DBName = "Content" -- This IS the name of the database.
templateMoniker = "!nrtdms:0:!session:mmwebdev:!database:Content:!page:2378:" -- mmwebdev is the test server where worksite is running.
_workspaceName = {matter number/name}
_description = {matter description}
_category = "PROGRAMS"
_defaultSecurity = imPublic
aclItems = 3 security items:
profileItems = 2 profile items (matter number and client number)
notification = 1 item
_profileErrors = nothing

CAVEAT: Our iManage Admin/Guru is out of the office this week. Apparently he changed something on both the test and production servers having to do with WebsiteDB (or something). I'm trying to get more info from him.

If anyone has any information or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
