I've installed PWS on my pc and put my website with ASP script in the wwwroot directory. The site uses webwiz news. However I get the following message when I select my news page -
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Execute' /html/news.asp, line 72 Any ideas what this error means? news.asp is my page in my site and I think line 72 is the <%sitenews bit%> command line from the webwiz news instructions. Also, the webwiz instructions for PWS say that I need to put my site in wwwroot directory and point to default.asp. Does this mean I have to rename my index.html file to default.asp?
And another - what are all the vti_ folders in PWS - do i need these?
Many thanks

im not to sure on the error message. i onceused PWS and worked fine. the vti_folders i think are some sort of back up files as i have had them before. PWS is very old now. |

I'm pretty sure these deal with the FrontPage extensions. Unless you are going to use FP, then you can delete them or leave em there. ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |

| Execute is probably refering to the ADO object, make sure you have installed the latest database engine or something, I don't really get that stuff. |

IIRC, Win98/PWS was Asp 2.0
WW needs Asp 3.0 -------------
