Acces 2000/IIS 6.0

[John Slocum]

Hello,
We have a db-driven customer support web site, written in
ASP using Access97, which we recently upgraded to
Access2000. We now want to move it to a new, better server
running Windows2003 and IIS 6. Can anybody tell me if we
will have compabitibility problems with the new MDAC? Is
it even possible? Will we have to tweak the ASP?

Any comments would be appreciated.

John

Access databases work fine on IIS6/Server 2003. Or at least within
the limits of Access. :)

You may need to work with permissions to get the database acces
working, but that's similar to what you had to do on W2K/IIS5. As for
tweaking the ASP, that really depends on what the ASP is. It *should*
run the same, but the only way to tell is to test. Naturally you'll
need to enable ASP and so on when you configure IIS.
