Not sure if I am in the correct thread .. please redirect accordingly.

I am trying to write my first .asp file in Notepad according to a tutorial
and load via my FTP to my website.

Running XP Pro/OfficePro 2002 ...

Have IIS checked in XP and Active server pages checked in FP.

Have followed tutorial diligently and happily notepad is saved as *.asp.

However, when opened the file attempts to open in image/fax viewer(?) and
nothing .. no preview ???

Attempt to open 'in Browser' via FP results in the same blank page although
the source is intact.

The tutorial script is:

<html>
<head>
<title>My First ASP Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white" text="black">

<%
'Dimension variables
Dim strMessage

'Place the value Hello World into the variable strMessage
strMessage = "Hello World"

'Write the contents of the variable strMessage to the web page
Response.Write (strMessage)

'Write line break into the web page
Response.Write ("<br>")

'Write the server time on the web page using the VBScript Time() function
Response.Write ("The time on the server is: " & Time())

'Close the server script
%>

</body>
</html>

All assitance will be appreciated ...
