I am having problems implementing an asp system accessing Paradox
tables. To better diagnose what is going on I have created a simple
page that reads through a table and displays the number of records.

When I browse the page in question IE just sits there with the globe
spinning. If I edit the script to make it a VBS script (ie remove all
the "<%" s etc, convert the response.write to a msgbox) and then run
it using cscript on the server it works just fine.

Both the ASP and VBS scripts use the same DSN to connect to the
paradox table.

Can anyone suggest causes/further steps to take? Grateful any
suggestons.
