Yeah, I'm aware trace.axd is a virual file.Thanks for the suggestion. I
suppose I could just create such a file. Doesn't sound like it would be big
deal. I'm just at a loss to explain why this can't be done though.
Machine.config provides teh name of trace.axd and such, seems like you
should be able to change it. However, I suppose it's possible Microsft
didn't intend for this to be changed on a per application basis. Thanks
again.
