Thanks for the reply. I have turned off friendy error messages in IE and get
the "Server encountered an internal error. To get more info turn on
customErrors in the server's config file." message.

How do I turn on customErrors in IIS5? when I edit the Web.Config to include
<system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off">
    </customErrors>I get the error below from IE
</system.web>

Line 28: Add <error> tags for each of the errors you want to handle.
Line 29: -->
Line 30: <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" />
Line 31:
Line 32: <!-- AUTHENTICATION
