Hello,

I am attempting to learn ASP and toying around with reading my products
Jet database to have something to play with. I seem to have ASP enabled
on my server, very simple ASP pages work, but the examples with accessing
a database just give a 500 internal server error. I'm using IIS 5.1 (XP)

The log information for the site isn't helpful for locating the problem.
How does one go about debugging or diagnosing a problem in ASP? Is there
a syntax checker or debug mode that can be enabled? I'm working from
web examples on ASP coding and typing in the pages by hand.

Thank you in advance,

David

Thank you Mike. The ASPFAQ site gave me many answers as I worked though
setting up a system to play with.
