Help Please. First time attempting to send info to database via .asp

Hi There

I could really use some help from you gurus out there.

I am trying to get a .asp example file from an actionscripting book to work, but it keeps telling me that there is an error trying to open the .asp page on my server

I uploaded the .asp file, and the access file onto my server, but it is not communicating.

Are there any browswer settings or web-hosting settings I should be aware of before I try to send and receive information from a database?

Also, I eliminated one variable. In another document, I was able to pull information from a text file from my web server without any problems.

If you have any insight, please let me know.

Thank you.

Sean
