web app does not work from client

[Paul]

I have a vs2003 web application, works fine when logged into the server but
when accessed through a client I get
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server.
It then says to set the customErrors mode="Off" in the web.config
I already have this tag set as off but for some reason the error is not
showing
on the client.
Thanks

Paul laid this down on his screen :

wild guess: it is case-sensitive, so you will need exactly
<customErrors mode="Off" />

a value of "off" will not work.

thanks for the response. Here is what I have in the config file
<customErrors mode="Off" /> which I think looks ok. I am sure it is using
this web.config file since if I change the connection string the app fails.
When using the correct connection string info the app works fine but only
when accessed from the server. Wondering if there is anything else that can
keep the error from not being displayed on the client.
