I'm creating an Intranet system using ASP files. The ASP files work in the server, but they don't work in clients computers. I only see an HTML page without any data from Access database. The server has Explorer 6.0 and clients Explorer 5.5. I need to set anything in Explorer?. I tested at home with PWS and it works.

I'm not sure what you mean?

An .asp page is an html page with vbscript (or javascript, etc...) included in it which gets compiled by the web server when the page gets called by a web client.

So if you copy the page to a users computer, that computer has to be running a web server (PWS, IIS, etc..) to be able to compile it. If that machine is configured with a web server, make sure you are calling the page through the web server by using the format http://computername/directory/directory/page.asp If you use d:\directory\directory\page.asp then you aren't calling the page through the web server, so it's not getting compiled...instead your just calling the file via Windows Explorer and opening it up directly, which doesn't work.

If thats not your problem, please describe your configuration and problem in a little more detail.

Thanks!

Failure is not an option.....it comes bundled with the software.
