I've downloaded ASPRunner an connected to a MS Access database. But every time I try to click on asp.default in the output

directory it just displays all the ASP code. I don't have a web server. can I just run it locally?

Also can you link graphic files to files?

Hi,
you need some kind of web server installed to run ASP pages locally.
If you running Windows 95/98/Me you can install PWS (Personal Web Server) from Microsoft.
Windows 2000/XP/NT comes with IIS (Internet Information Server) which is the best option to test ASP pages.

But I am running windows 2000 should'nt the default.asp show correctly instead of the source code.

BOY! I would like to get this to work!

Hi,
you need to access your ASP pages through your local Web server like this:

http://localhost/ASPRunner/default.asp
I guess you trying to open it through your file system like C:\Program files\ASPRunner\output\default.asp which is incorrect.
If you use ASPRunner 2.0 it can create new virtual directory for you on the fly, put all required files there and open it in your browser.

o.k. I see that's my first mistake, but how do you exactly point the default. asp file using "http://localhost/ASPRunner/default.asp"; method that ASP Runner has created?

Hi,
If you use ASPRunner 2.0 it can create new virtual directory for you on the fly, put all required files there and open it in your browser.
Everything can be done without leaving the application.
Have you succeeded creating new virtual directory with ASPRunner?

The ASPRunner virtual directory panel selection is grayed can't select it. DARN!!

Hi,
I see what you saying.
That probably means you don't have (IIS) Internet Information Server up and running on your machine.

Could you tell me what's happening when you type http://localhost in your Web browser address line?

I get the familiar... "The page cannot be displayed the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings" prompt.

I see what you saying.
Here how you can istall IIS ( you may need Windows 2000 installation CD):
Go to Start->Settings->Control panel->Add/Remove programs
Select "Add/remove Windows components"

Check "Internet Information Services (IIS)" and click Next. Click Finish, insert CD if required.
This will install IIS on your machine.
