I am just starting out on ASP and was trying to raise an Error and retrieve info about the error by making a call to the GetLastError function of the Server class, but instead what I get is the plain vanilla IE error reporting (see attachment for a picture of what my IE looks like when I run my code). Here's my code:

<%@ Language=VBScript%>

<HTML>
<%

dim objErr
Dim a

a=5/0
set objErr=Server.GetLastError()

response.write("ASPCode=" & objErr.ASPCode)
response.write(" ")
response.write("ASPDescription=" & objErr.ASPDescription)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Category=" & objErr.Category)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Column=" & objErr.Column)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Description=" & objErr.Description)
response.write(" ")
response.write("File=" & objErr.File)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Line=" & objErr.Line)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Number=" & objErr.Number)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Source=" & objErr.Source)

%>

</HTML>

Do I have to configure IIS to trap errors or something? I am using IE5 which I believe implements the ASPError object.

response.write("ASPDescription=" & objErr.ASPDescription)
response.write(" ")
response.write("Category=" & objErr.Category)

Thanks. But it still doesn't populate the Error object. I mean now I simply get this output.

ASPCode=
ASPDescription=
Category=
Column=0
Description=
File=
Line=0
Number=0
Source=

Thanks for the help. Thoughts?
