SUMMARY

This article describes how to create Active Server Pages (ASP) in Microsoft FrontPage 98.

NOTE: This article describes how to create Active Server Pages if you are using the Microsoft Personal Web Server (MSPWS) as the Web server. The configuration of ASP on Microsoft Internet Information Server-based servers may be different. This procedure will not work if you are using a disk-based Web. Also, for ASP to work on a supported web server Asp.exe must be installed.
