I am having a problem with a ASP.NET app on my servers... every time this app runs it returns the below. This happens on Win2000 and Win2k3 Web servers. However on the developer's system it runs fine. Any Ideas? Of course it will not give a line number or much that is helpful.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Yargh... found it.. I think.

Developer had a literal path compiled into some of his code.
