I have the following:
Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1
Frontpage 2000

Recently my Database ASP pages will not come up on my computer (not
internet).
I removed all of the IIS 5.1 and reinstalled.. nothing.
I verified database connection. nothing.
I fiddled with settings in IIS.. nothing.
I went to microsoft KB which said to make a test ASP file, which only seems
to work when I delete the global.asa file.

I almost seem to think it was one of the
security updates that was automatically done that screwed things up.

I am afraid to publish to my website for fear of screwing it up. ... help.

1. Is the root of your FrontPage Web marked as an
Application in IIS Manager?

2. What error message appears when you try to run
one of you Database ASP pages?

1. yes, I hit remove and then create again to be sure... and changed
Application Protection to Low, and enabled scripts and executables... still
no luck.
2. I don't get any message...even 10 minutes later... the status bar at the
bottom of the browser says "website found, waitng for reply"

Do any ASP pages in the same Web site run OK?

What kind of databases are these?

Have you tried putting <%response.buffer=false%> at the very top of
your page to see if any HTML at all is coming out? This may help you
localize the point of failure. If necessary, add trace statements to
your ASP code, such as

Response.write("<p>Got this far.</p>")

If your Web server and your copy of FrontPage are on the same
computer, you can also try interactive debug. To do this, in the IIS
settings for your application, set Enable ASP Server-Side Debugging,
and add a "stop" statement near the top of your code. Then, running
the Web page should open a Microsoft Script Editor window where you
can press F8 to execute one statement at a time.

Looks like you have an error in your global.asa. Can you post its content?

The database and asp pages work on the real internet... see
www.enctrader.com but not on my computer... leads me to believe it is
somewhere in the IIS system. I'll try to enable asp server side
debugging... how would a stop statement look like coded.

Just "stop" on a line by itself:

stop
