You'll need to trap several of the errors in IIS, most particularly the 403, 404, 500, & 500;100. And here's the doozie: MAKE SURE YOUR ERROR PAGE IS AT LEAST 4 KB. Sure, you can make it sweet and simple and to the point, but it just won't work. IE is designed to 'safely' ignore error pages that are too small to be of use (like the useful ones!) so you have to return at least 4kb to make the default IE errors go away. You can do this with hundreds of nonbreaking spaces and spaces mixed together or empty spans or whatever - but you've gotta return 4kb. Regards, Shawn K.
