Hi,
I am trying to bring in an access database using ASP and it works when I sit at the server but when I go client side all I can see is the code, am I being blonde? Do I need to turn on something in IIS to enable ASP externally?
here is the code in case it makes a difference
Thank you all for stopping by and reading this

' Declare variables
Dim cnnSimple ' ADO connection
Dim rstSimple ' ADO recordset
Dim strDBPath ' path to our Access database (*.mdb) file
' MapPath of virtual database file path to a physical path.
' If you want you could hard code a physical path here.
strDBPath = Server.MapPath("ServiceCallManagement1.mdb")
' Create an ADO Connection to connect to the scratch database.
' We're using OLE DB but you could just as easily use ODBC or a DSN.
Set cnnSimple = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
' This line is for the Access sample database:
cnnSimple.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDBPath & ";"
' We're actually using SQL Server so we use this line instead:
'cnnSimple.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=10.2.1.214;" _
' & "Initial Catalog=samples;User Id=samples;Password=password;" _
' & "Connect Timeout=15;Network Library=dbmssocn;"
' Execute a query using the connection object. It automatically
' creates and returns a recordset which we store in our variable.
'Set rstSimple = cnnSimple.Execute("SELECT * FROM employees")
'Code to display Access Info based on WiredContact Record
VarFirstName=Request.QueryString("salutation")
Set rstSimple = cnnSimple.Execute("SELECT * FROM employees WHERE FirstName= '" & VarFirstName & "' ORDER BY EmployeeID")
' Display a table of the data in the recordset. We loop through the
' recordset displaying the fields from the table and using MoveNext
' to increment to the next record. We stop when we reach EOF.
