Logging errors with ASP 404 error pages

[Matt Verstraete]

When I had just setup my web site with IIS 5.0 the error
log contained the 3 things I needed for my site stats
page. The page that had that not been found (i.e.
site.com/nofile.html), the error number (404) and the
referrer (where the person came from to get to the bad
page); Now when I try to use my custom 404 page it only
logs the error number. How can I setup my page to log the
referrer and bad file page?

Thank you for your reply, I hvae looked over both these
pages and nither of them are for putting the information
in the IIS log, but simply to output it to the screen,
email, or database. Do you know how to do it to the IIS
LOG?

IIS is logged by requests to IIS (and the log already has the 404 request in
there!). I don't know that it's possible to inject your own entries into
the log stream...

i am realy not trying to put my own entries. I have found
that if I leave the default 404 settings as they are when
you first config a site it tracks everything but the
moment I change them it stop. If I change it back it logs
them. Any idea?
