Thanks Simcha.  Like you, I had already tried the fixes listed in the link
below.  Either I failed to correctly apply fixes, or the fix is not there.
When I searched SAS-L archives I found references to this exact problem
pertaining to Explorer 5.5, including references to this tech note, but I
never found any indication that anybody had actually figured out how to
solve the problem.  I've also received e-mails from other SAS OnLine users
indicating a shared problem and requesting that I make any discovered
solution known to them.  I suspect there may be many of us.  If you already
have a ticket open with the SAS Tech folks, please let us know if they
produce a cure (any you might want to insure that they are made aware that
their tech note does not seem to be addressing the issue).  In the mean time
- has anybody solved this one?

I. too, always get this error. It began 3 weeks ago with an upgrade in
Internet Explorer.  SAS is helping me track it down but with no success yet.


They sent me this link:
ftp://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/technote/ts657.html
<ftp://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/technote/ts657.html>

Please let me know your progress.

We have SAS OnLine loaded on our network and when we perform a search we get

no matches, regardless of the search item, and we see the error "Search
Error: Java.Lang.NullPointerException" at the bottom of the search window
frame.  We are operating on an NT server, with Windows 2000 workstations,
using MSExplorer version 6.0.2600.0000.



Thanks for the help.
