Brian

It seems there are a few areas you may need to look into.
First, does earthlink have the FrontPage server extensions installed on their servers. Verizon used to host our web site with the FrontPage extensions but on the UNIX OS. I still could not run ASP on their servers, so you may want to look into this. I'm not familiar with Earthlink web hosting.
Second, does the ASP work on your machine locally with personal web server?
Are you getting any sort of error report?

thanks for you input, i called earthlink and they are running a unix server. so now that means i cant run a access database with the use of frontpgage's wizard correct? what are my other options.

thanks again
Brian

Move your site to another server would be one option. In fact it may be the only option to continue in the direction you have started (ie to use asp and the database wizard from FP)

The other option would be to use scripting that would work on a UNIX server.

I would recommend you talk to Earthlink and ask them if they have any windows servers that you can move your site to.
When Verizon was hosting our website, they had told me to use PHP instead of ASP. This was because they didn't have any windows servers. Forget it, I wasn't about to switch to PHP.
So I switched hosts. Now I can run ASP with no problems (we saved money too).
This was my experience and hopefully it will help you out.
