Futures Data :Runtime error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hi Everyone !

I get this runtime error :Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Is appear at a certain date (March 2012), if i skip the date the error disappear. Is it possible that you have a Data bug or other ?

I put in the code many check != null and !=0, but nothing to do.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
