After installing iis5 (on W2kPro) and after that
installing Office 2000 (incl. FP2000) the sample ASP code
as described in document 312638 to verify a successful ASP
installation does not work.

What am I doing wrong, or am I missing something?

Please tell us how you are trying to access the asp page.

I am following the 312638 document, using 'Preview in
browser' in FP2000. The result is a blank page. The source
of the blank page (in IE) contains the complete HTML
including the script part.
When I add test strings immediately before and after the
script, they are displayed, the script bit in between
stays empty.

I assume you are talking about previewing on your local machine. Preview in
Browser won't work.

You must have a web server installed on your machine. Which one depends on
the O/S you are using.

With the web server running, open your IE Browser, and type in
http://localhost and whatever folder or page you are referring to.

| It works!

| After opening IE and entering:
| http://LocalHost/ASPtest.ASP IE shows the desired
| contents, including the script produced part.

| Thanks for your help.
