I have read a variety of threads and still struggling
I run XP / Frontpage 2002 / Access 2002
I have installed IIS

I wish to develop a local website based on one pc for personal use with the
data all stored on the hard drive. I want various pages to pull information
from the Access Database depending on the query I use.

I imported the database, selected the correct mdb file and added file then
ok'd it
I then created a page, saved as index.asp, inserted a database result (with
no query for now)
Viewed using FP i get :
"the page must be fetched from a web server or browser" mesage where the
results should be
I then changed the asp file to open with IE then all i see is the HTML coding

Any help greatly received

You need to access the site and page from within FP and the browser via http://localhost.

You need to be running Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Pro or Windows 2003.
Install IIS with FrontPsge extensions.
Publish the site to http://localhost/sitename (where sitename is a
short, single word with NO punctation that will be the name of your site
on your PC.)

Then the page can be viewed in the browser using
http://localhost/sitename/pagename.asp

If you are running Windows XP Home, then publish the site to a Windows
server that supports ASP. You cannot view asp pages on Windows XP Home.

Hi:
You said you are running Windows XP - which version? You need to be running
Windows XP Pro for this to work. If you are, you would install IIS:

Got it - but a couple of points for others

First when installing IIS - it doesnt install the extensions automaticly you
have to choose details and put a tick in the box
Second when you eventually publish it you have to put the file name
including the extension ie http://localhost/sitename/index does not work but
http://localhost/sitename/index.asp does

Thanks guys

http://localhost/sitename/index means the server is looking for a
Folder named index, and will open the default page in that folder (if it
finds the folder).

Publish the asp file to a web server running Windows IIS & ASP. That's what
it means by "this page must be viewed on a web server....".

If you browse to http://localhost/sitename/ then that will display the
index.asp page (assuming that specific file has been set as the 'default'
page - you can specify the default file name(s) in IIS admin in Windows XP
Pro).
