ASP errors from IIS

[Tony]

I am using Dreamweaver MX to connect to an SQl DB. No
problem here. However it is an Intranet that i am
building, one currently exists as a virtual directory
under default web site in IIS 5.0. I have created another
Virtual Directory in IIS and set everything up the same as
it is in the current intranet.
Problem:
I have an insert record form on one page, call it
page1.asp. I have set up the record insert form to go to
a specific URL (call it page2.htm) when the submit button
is pressed. When this is pressed I see '../page1.asp?' in
the address bar and the code is showing?!. I have
researched this to some extent today and have found an MS
article on this being an issue when the folder contianing
scripts is not setup as executable. I know that my IIS
install is capable of ASP as it has been executing it for
3 years now onr the old/current intranet. I know that
Dreamweaver MX inserts some scripts in the
_mmServerScripts folder and this MAY be the issue. I just
don't know.

very frusterated, anyone got any ideas?

thanks
Tony

page1? Do you mean '../page2.asp?' ?

Shot in the dark guess: did you set the form's Action property to GET
instead of POST?

I would ask you to post your code, but I probably won't read the DW code.
But, somebody else might, so go ahead and post your FORM tag
