    This error means that the directory is not set up as an application.

    set up the directory as an application root in the control panel (web app tool)

  4. Bruce,


    WAIT!!!! I found it! Sorry I was a little slow on that one. Your reply was right on the money.


    May I ask you another quick one? How do I upload from Visual Studio? I had always done the uploading from Front Page.





    Thanks again!
