ok ive done the hard part, ive hooked up windows 98 to work with MS personal web server, ive created the the dynamic ASP pages in ultravdev and stored them in c:/inetpub/wwwroot but whenever i try to open the .asp pages in IE i keep getting the "file download" box asking me whether or not to save or open the file. when i open it, it opens the file in ultradev.

i know its a stupid question, its the stupidest ive ever asked but im really stuck.
thanks
ben

Since they are ASP pages they need to be run through your web server. Therefore you <font color=red>can't</font id=red> type in <b>c:/inetpub/wwwroot</b> into your browser...

You need to put <b>localhost/sitename</b> where 'sitename' is the folder that is in your wwwroot... and then you can view your pages.
