Try running your app in IIS Express instead of Cassini (the built-in Visual Studio development web server). They behave differently and you might have a better shot at recreating the issue in your development environment. IIS Express runs just like real IIS so there are fewer surprises when you deploy your application.

---

Try deploying the application in debug mode, which should give you a specific line number and code file where the error occurred. Simply place this in your web.config file:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true">
  </system.web>
</configuration>

However, in general, you do not want to deploy to final production in debug mode. Instead, make use of try...catch blocks and good status/exception logging in your application to track down problems.

---

The easiest way to find where such errors occur is to split your methods down to just do one thing per method. For example, instead of adding a comment that say // Run the saved import, make a method of it RunTheSavedImport() and you will much easier be able to detect in which part of the code the error occurs directly from the stack trace.

What I can see , if the code you have provided is the full ExportRx30ToSalisburyAccessDB-method, the most probable causes for this error is that either DoCmd, AcQuitOption or AcObjectType of some reason are null. Since the stack do not enter Application it can only be caused by objects inside this method.

simply reset your IIS server.
