OK, instead of clicking the Open Folder Icon, I click File and my option
is to "Open Web" vs "Open Site". I click "Open Web", type in
http://localhost. I then load the file, Preview In Browser with the
same results
I've been getting... the html code.
I "Open Web", type in
http://localhost/test.asp and get an error that
it is not
accessible.

When you open it like that you're opening it as a disk-based web. You
need to open it in FrontPage as File, Open Site, http:\\localhost This
will open it as a server-based web and now you should be able to test
your ASP pages.
I think I understand, but check me out... I open FrontPage.
In the File Name box I enter: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.asp
FrontPage opens and my test.asp page appears.
I click Preview In Browser.
The html code appears.
I refresh.
The screen is blank.
Earl
Preview in browser "Will" work for .asp files, but "Only" if you have
opened the site and page in FrontPage using the
http://localhost/webname address.

Then "Preview In Browser" does not work for .asp or .php files??

That's how you are supposed to view it.
I do have IIS installed on my machine, so when I do open IE and
go
to
http://localhost the page displays correctly.
