Testing an Active link

[rickpill]

Hi,

I'm new to ASP. Here's my problem, I need to set up a screen to display a "user friendly" message , e.g. "Please try again later ..." when a user clicks a Link and the server is down, busy etc.

Thanks,

Rick

in your IIS setup look where the error are and replace that file with one ofyour own, then is some type in

http://www.yourdomain.com.somenonexistantpage.asp

they will get your message not the default upgly one

You can edit the error messages shown by IIS (the default path is C:\WINDOWS\help\iisHelp\common\) for errors such as "Page not Found" etc. It might be slighty more tricky if you want to show this if your server is "busy" as what would you/the server define as busy?
