MSAccess - Active Server Pages - and FrontPage (Help Plez!)

[Brad Bible]

I'll try to make as much sense as possible with my question but forgive me if
I am a little vague - ASP is new to me.

I've been using Frontpage (currently 2002) for a while now in order to do
websites. Most webs that I have worked on were fairly simple and did not
require any databases.

Recently at my work we have been presented with the need of developing a
better way to track projects. Since all our PCs have Internet Explorer on
them (and several, including mine, have MSAccess) the suggestion had been
made to develop a project tracking system that could be accessed over our
intranet via Internet Explorer.

My first thought was to make use of the FrontPage template function that
allows a person to create a web with a database. I did this and set up a
very basic website - however, I am unable to use the website because I am
unable to publish it.
The error message I am receiving is:

"The following pages in your Web are Active Server Pages (ASP). They will
not work because the server you are publishing to does not support ASP."

The window then goes on to list several pages. I understand that I am
getting this error because I am not publishing this to a 'web' site -
however, is there anyway that I can accomplish my goal since I am attempting
to publish to my server instead?

You need IIS (Internet Information Services) running on the server. IIS is
included in recent versions of Server and Pro editions of Windows (not Home
editions) but may not be installed by default. For details, talk to your
admin, or if you are the admin, good places to look for documentation are
TechNet (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/default.mspx) and MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com).
