ok made a little progress found I'd left something out in the site code when I put in the Call to the Reports page. Now instead of doing nothing I get this error. If you look at my post with the code you'll notice that on the line <li><a runat="server" href = "...Reports I should have had Reports twice. now at least something happens.

so I think I'm making progress. But I have no idea what this error means. If I'M on the reports webpage when I start it the page opens fine. If I'm on the home page everything works until I click on the Reports link then I get the above error. What am I missing.
