web.config problems

Phil,

I've had a fair bit of success with custom 404 pages using the web.config
file - especially since one of my hosting servers only allows me to do
this - previously, I've gone into the IIS setup and set the custom error
pages up myself, but if you can share your web.config file with the
newsgroup, I'm sure we'll be able to help out some way.

Cheers,
Tone.

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="genError.htm">
<error statusCode="404" redirect="404.htm"/>
</customErrors

This morning I too, found that using custom errors seems to only work if
the "file not found" is an aspx page. Has anyone had similar results?
Is it this way by design?
