Hi guys, sorry to come across as a complete novice here but this is the first time i've used ASP.

I'm about to put my foot through the screen of my machine if i don't get this smegging thing to work soon! :o(

I've set up IIS on my machine (W2K) and have configured the personal web server stuff as described on the sites tutorials.

I'm going through the database example for creating a new entery in the database "add_to_guestbook.asp" but instead of running the asp vbs script file it just displays the code on the screen (ignoring the script tags)

I know the code is fine because when i load the files to the main web server they run correctly so something is missing from the setup of IIS/Personal web server on my local machine!

anyone know what add on i've missed?

If its a missing or corrupt file try re-installing IIS
