Hi,
This has nothing to do with ASP. ASP can only act when the called file is existing.

Some providers offer the option for customized error pages. If you provider does it as well, then you can customize them according to your needs.

If you are running your own server, then navigate to the properties of the related website in IIS, click Custom Errors and change the content of the default error pages.

Good luck,
Ali Baradaran

If you have access to the IIS interface then select the website you want to change, right click then select propertries and in the properties window select custom errors.

You can then select the error (404.asp for example) and either point it to a file on your server a url page that you have created.

Most hosts support uploading your own 404.asp and check there first by default. Also, try this page for more information.

There's a code you can use with redirect..

I think it goes like that..
If error <> 0 then
Response.redirect "URL"

Try it :)

I'm sorry,
I just chack it and its goes like that: If Err <> 0 Then NOT If error <> 0
