as of this morning I have tried different things, but the common end result is this error...

If its only a single page im wondering if you really need to worry about all this.

Instead, could you just run the page in a sub folder on the site - why does it need to be a subfolder application.
This way you dont need a separate web.config etc - yes there is some overhead because it would be running inside the dnn application space.

ok, one final thought / question. DotNetNuke is a Content Management System, right ? But, yet the fix I have found to run a subdirectory breaks the ability to edit / manage content. Seems a little ironic.

Do not get me wrong, I like DNN, still learning it, but I do like it. And, I like the the fact that there is a forum group of great people out there willing to jump in and help others out, like me ;-)

I am still going to plug away at this. If I find a solution, I will be sure to post it out here !

Thank you all again !!
