access_asp thread: beginner question

Hello, esteemed listers. I'm new to list - driven here by complete
frustration and a feeling of helplessness. <smile> I'm an access database
programmer (also very comfortable with HTML) who is trying to convert her
website from a standard HTML site to an informative ASP site.
I took a course in ASP many months ago on a Windows 98 machine. I knew it
would take some time puttering about to get comfortable with ASP again after
so
long, but now my laptop is a Windows 2000 machine and I can't seem to even
get started.
All the files are being run locally so that I can re-design the entire site
using ASP.
I've got my directory showing up in IIS under the Webpub folder and IIS is
running. The .asp help files that ship with Windows are visible, so I know
the asp
stuff is installed correctly.
I know I must be missing something obvious, but I can't seem to find any
help. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for your time.
Denise Robinson
PS - I'm on digest, so cc's to my email would be appreciated.

Denise:
What exactly is happening when you put a .asp file into the server's root
directory and try to run it? What's the error you're getting? That can help
lead us to the source of the difficulty.

The page opens and all the basic HTML stuff is visible, but anything that's
supposed to come from the ASP code doesn't show.
I originally tried this:
<%@ language="VBSCRIPT" %>
<% OPTION EXPLICIT %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Homepage</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<table width="600">
<tr>
<!-- #INCLUDE file="includes/header.asp" -->
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="Chandani/includes/navigate.asp" -->
</td>
<td width="450" valign="top">
Insert Copy Here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
When that didn't work, I tried this test my workbook suggested:
<%@ language="vbscript" %>
<% option explicit %>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This line from html</p>
<HR>
next line from ASP will work<BR>
if ASP extensions installed correctly:<BR><b>
<%
Response.write "Magically appearing From ASP"
%></b>
<HR>
Next line from ADO will work if a DSN named moonlightdancer has been set<BR>
for the example database which is named moonlightdancer.mdb.
<%
Set oRS=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
oRS.open "SELECT * FROM tblSiteList WHERE [title] like 'belly'",
"DSN=moonlightdancer"
oRS.movefirst
response.write "<b>" & ors("title") & "</b>"
%>
<HR>
finished test page
</body>
</html>
Thanks for your time.
