Access Database in a Web

[Dave Hawks]

I am new to FrontPage and am trying to incorporate an existing database into
a web.
I have saved the database file in the fpdb folder and created a page to
display certain fields from one of the tables, and called the page Date.asp.
In normal view and PreView I see only a template for the data with the
column headers but no actual data. The template contains the warning that the
page will only display properly when displayed on a web server and called by
a browser,but using " Preview through Browser" brings up a page of html code .
Clearly I am doing something wrong can anyone tell me how to preview the
final result.
Any help would be much appreciated.

To view an .asp database page in a browser, it "Must" be "served" from a
server that supports .asp, such as IIS in Windows Pro 2000 or XP Pro
or it must be published and viewed from a remote server that supports .asp.

You can not preview an .asp page from a disk based web.

Run it from a web server running ASP. The yellow results area warning also
tells you that you have to view the site on a web server using a browser,
not just "preview in browser".
