Sharen, there were informations about that in the FAQ of my webspace provider with links to other sites explaining how to do this. I had no idea about this stuff too but it is in fact really easy. I even made my own error pages that match my website. I put the .htaccess in my main directory as my provider told me and it works very well. If you follow the links supplied here you will find a lot of usefull infos. Friederike
