Is it possible to capture all 500 errors in Classic ASP at a global level? Maybe something in IIS. I'm using II6 at the moment. I like to capture the error message and then store it in the database. I know its possible in ASPX pages, but don't know exactly how you do in classic asp.

Thank you

Yes, create an asp page which will log the error details to the database, and set this to be the 500 handler page in IIS as below.

Use the Server.GetLastError object to get the details of the error in your handler script.

It might be a good idea to log to a text file rather than a DB in your 500 handler for resiliency.
