Mike,

If I wanted to repair this error, where is the root directory of the current
web application mentionned below is?

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable

on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config"

configuration file located in the root directory of the current web

application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute

set to "Off".
