Access dbase no longer works on workstation?

[JVRudnick]

running XPPro/SP2 and it's iis6 too....using EditPlus as my scripting code
app....

have a simple dbase site, using ASP classic and MSAccessXP

used to run fine. but all of a sudden, no calls to the dbase work. I get a
blank screen; a refresh calls up the dialog to refresh, which of course I do,
and that gets me a blank screen.

perms are right and I can see any html page or asp page fine in EditPlus -
just not a page that has a dbase call...have just uninstalled IIS - then
reinstalled same and I get the same thing.

oh, when I first start ANY asp page in the EditPlus app, I click to "preview
in browser" as per normal - but now it shows me the plain code page - I have
to reclick to get it to "work" as the localhost and serve that page.

this is wonky...what'm I mising here? or worse, what have I done?

in fact NO asp page can call a dbase in any way...it's like the dbases do
NOT exist or some such thing? what the heck???

What have you done to debug this? Consider starting with a page with no db
access, and add code till it breaks. Response.Write is your friend

Hi Jeff,

Also test your site in other browsers (IE6 SP1 and FX).

If you can view your source although the page is blank in the IE6 SP2
browser it is because you have orphaned a script tag. Make sure you have not
left off any ending tags anywhere (ie. </script>).

You can test this by validating your html page at the W3C validators.

It would be a good idea to use the IE Developers Toolbar

or

DebugBar

That have links to the W3C validation sites.

Regards.
