Placing the .idc and .htx Files

After the Data Source Name is created, you can begin to create the Internet Database Connector (.idc) files that will be used to post and query data from the database, and the .htx files that will be used to format the results returned from it.

Place the .idc and .htx files in the /Scripts directory or another Internet Information Server directory configured with the Execute property. You mark a directory with the Execute property when you add or edit the directory on the Directory property sheet.

For details on creating the .idc and .htx files, see the section "Accessing the Database" later in this chapter, or the Windows NT Server Microsoft Internet Information Server Installation and Administration Guide.
