I have a very simple HTML form that updates an Access DB via a separate ASP engine page. Part of the functionality of the ASP engine is to display a Response.Write message that the form was processed. 

This all works fine from all the PCs I have tested it through.  However, I have some users that are receiving "The page cannot be displayed" when they submit the form.  The DB is never updated.  If the user adds the site to their Trusted Sites, the form works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening to select users?

Thanks...

your doing something in your script that the security policy on the "select" users machine doesn't like (i.e. cookies)

Javascript validation also won't work if the user turned off javascript.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Well more error message info about the page cannot be displayed error would be helpful.  Possibly data submitted is to long for a field.

So in Internet Explorer you can do this: Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Uncheck Show friendly HTTP error messages.  And it doesn't hurt anything to just keep your browser set like this.
 
And then when you get an error you can see more on the error page especially the code at the bottom which could be something like "Error on line 339 GetValue()) extra parenthesis"?
