.asp search pages stopped working

[Guest]

Hello,
Using FP 03, I created some .asp search pages that query an access database.
The seaerch pages used to function properly, but have stopped working and I
cannot figure out what the problem is. I can enter search criteria but when
I press submit, I am directed to a "page cannot be displayed" error. I have
even tried recreating the pages from scratch but still receive an error
message when hitting the "submit" button to get my database results.
My site was recently moved to a new server, but the server administrator
assures me that the problem does not lie there. Any suggestions as to what to
do next?
Thanks for your assistance!

I received this response from my web host:

Huh? I'm not sure of the connection between the FP search not working and
parent paths being disabled. And, as the link below says, the parent path
property IS disabled by default (and it's a site specific setting), and IS
and has been disabled on your site. Maybe the sender of the message didn't
understand your question?


Do you have any ideas what I should do next?

The complete error message on your page is:


Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/Search/AssociateResults.asp, line 83

The Include file '../_fpclass/fpdblib.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate
the parent directory.

Thanks for your continued help! When I attempt to edit line 83, it is
overwritten by front page. Is there a way to disable the overwrite?

Your host would need to allow parent paths.
