Very Computer

I have published an Access 97 DB to a local web site before putting it up on
the web.  I put the db in a folder in the site root and gave it
read/write/run permissions.  I published this db to the folder using the
Wizard in Access (choosing ASP option). In FrontPage 98 I opened the db
folder and opened the form (Customers_1alx.asp).  This seems to be a
standalone form yet when I try to do anything, enter data etc I get this
error:
HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden (Execute Access Denied - This Virtual
Directory does not allow objects to be executed.)
Could one of you please tell me what I am missing?  Be gentle..this is my
first time  :)

You need to contact your hosting service and have them create a DSN file for your database. Then you
may need to access your live site and set folder permissions. Setting permission on your local PWS
does not affect the online site.

Yes I know that setting the access permissions on a local machinc can not
effect the perms on the server.  At least I dont think that this is
tranesfered with other web changes.  But as I stated in my post I am doing
the testing on my local using a local copy of the website.  I waanted to
test the db out locally before I published.  It's faster this way to make
edits.  I have a local DSN that defines the db I am using. access publishes
the forms/querys/tables to asp for me. aAll looks good untill you try to
preform a function and then I get this error:
HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden (Execute Access Denied - This Virtual
Directory does not allow objects to be executed.)

for your database. Then you

Make sure that the database has been imported into FPExplorer/PWS.

Are you using the Preview tab to test your result? Test your db on your
browser instead of the Preview Tab...
Make sure you set your premissions on PWS...

Bill -

If you are running MSPWS 1.0 (the one that comes with FP98), have your
run the asp.exe found on the FP CD that installs the asp engine on the
PWS?

Also, is the .asp page in the same directory as the db?  If not, it is
the properties of the folder (or root directory of that web) in which
the asp resides, not the db's folder, that must be set to "allow
programs and scripts to run".

Quite frankly, I tried the asp export from Access and found the
resulting asp code to be far more complicated than it needed to be to
accomplish the task and I had no hope of safely editing it, so I have
been writing all of my own.

Hope these ideas help!
