Scott & Company-
I figured this out, by stumbling upon the answer.
First I have 16 FTP setups and 2 SDrive setups in VSD. I'm using (playing with the SDrive streams, but haven't published a website to the SDrive itself).

So here's what happened. Several weeks ago I changed my Coffee Cup user email login address, but kept the same password. And FireFox dutifully filled in my new user account number and password whenever I logged into THE CUP.

Now, I was able to change and publish my existing FTP websites just fine because each of them has their own individual FTP login password setups to my IX server (which I haven't changed) so when I hit the "publish" button for making website updates, they were already
established and knew where to go - without me trying to "select a publishing destination."

However, when I got around to trying to create a New website I had to pick a publishing destination. At that point VSD tried to log into my Coffee Cup account with my old user/password combination and
puked, giving me the oh so useless error message that told me nothing:
“The exception unknown software exception (0xe06d7363) occurred in the
Application at location 0x7c812afb”

I changed the login setup in VSD's SDrive area, and now everything works fine when creating and publishing new websites. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

It occurs to me that a clearer error message might have helped tracked this down, something along the lines of, "Wrong user account and password combo, dumby."

And the question: why is Coffee Cup having to verify my publishing destinations on their computer rather than stored locally on mine? Is Scott taking names and counting sock wearers or what?

Anyway, Scott and Orlando, write this down in your little notebooks in case some other idiot manages to clobber himself in a similar fashion in the future.

The only destinations we store are your CoffeeCup accounts. We have to refresh that list each time you go into the Choose a Publishing Destination dialog to make sure the list is accurate.

I will check into the password issue however and see if I can replicate it.

Glad you are all set.
