wag.....
could the asp routines be looking for and/or using files that are hard coded
to the root directory????

Is this error appearing in FrontPage, then, and not when you try to
run the page using a browser?

Also, do the problem DRW pages perform INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE
commands on the database? FP2003 doesn't deal with those very well. It
was more or less an accident that those commands worked in prior
releases.

hmm

Answer to your question
The error actually happens when I try to create an asp page or move an existing one within within the web from the root folder

The only place it will let me create and keep a working asp page is in the root folder of the specific web

This "table" does not have any updates etc against it. The db does have a non working update that I was going to chase next. But wanted to get a simple query generated using the wizard working properly

Question on your comment
hmm on the update, delete, etc.... what is the work around for this?
