You're right, moving the two folders up a level made the difference.

Thanks for the help. I guess I'm still wondering why the fact that those two folders were in the wrong place caused the problem. I don't think that they were being referenced, or does ASP.NET look at everything within the website?

Thanks -

VWD does that for you, to help you prevent this problem at runtime.

If you'd access one of the folders under Source or Resources that contained its own web.config file, you'd get the error at run-time as that nested web.config file would be reconfiguring settings that are defined at the root of the site.

Hope this helps,

Imar
