I'm trying to create a website with the database wizard where you choose the template(database interface). Everything is created properly i think, but when I go to view it I get the message - 'to view this page properly, either save or publish. ' Since I'm using asp, I publish it under Inetpub. Then I choose the index page and file>preview in browser>ie... Everything is fine and the database index page comes up in the browser, but when I click on any of the links (results.asp, sumission_form.asp, or database_editor.asp) I get the same old thing, that download file dialogue box appears and asks me if I want to open or save the file. - but all I want is to display the asp pages. I've published the site under IIS 5.1, shouldn't it display? I've even reinstalled IIS to try to correctly configure frontpage. Could I be having some other software conflicts? I do have dreamweaver, visual studio, and a bunch of other applications installed. I have no problem creating websites under dreamweaver and visual studio... Hmmm? Thanks ahead...

F.P. works quite a bit differently than dreamweaver, but I'm really liking it - especially the idea that it works nicely with all of the ms office tools!!! I'm amazed that the wizard created a database, submission form, and a results page for me with a couple of clicks!!! Very impressive - thanks again and I'll check out those tutorials/articles listed by your signature! (in reply to Spooky)
