I have been doing some looking at Microsoft's BizTalk Services hosted at http://biztalk.net. I was working on some of the sample applications and trying to write my own application last Saturday. I thought I had something working and was going to come back to it later to make sure it worked the way I think. I got the flu and didn't get back to it until tonight. I found that my code was failing with the error "ID3037: The specified request failed.". I tried some of the sample applications and one worked and one got the same error. I logged into the site and was told that the services had been updated. I needed to provide a secret question and answer as well as updating my password. I did that and while I was there I took advantage of the new feature to associate my Windows LiveID with the account. I thought that would have fixed the problem but it did not.

I tried a Live search and then a Google search for the error. I found some interesting entries like for obesity in Canada and women's scarves from Japan but nothing that even remotely looked relevant.

When all else fails I tend to RTFM so I looked at the What's New? page and saw that along with some updated services the SDK was updated on December 17. I guess that explains why some things worked and others didn't. Now I just have to go back through the new samples in the SDK and figure out what I need to change in my code to get it to work.

Oh the joys of working with CTP software :)
