Hi all I persistently receive an error report for web.config which reads "The 'confiuration' start tag on line 6 does not match the end tag of 'location' line 132 " etc That was an error which existed some time ago when I failed to delete the last line of a redundant location section Since then the file has been substantially reorganised with no change in the message and the message persists even if I remove the location segments I still get the same report with a freshly installed and untouched web.config having renemed the one I am developing Can it be in some cache which is not emptying Roger Stenson
