Microsoft Active Server Pages, a component of Microsoft Internet Information Server, uses Active Server Page (ASP) files to get data from an ODBC data source and format it as an HTML web page. The ASP file is a server-side script that specifies how to connect to the data source, as well as the appropriate HTML tags to format the data once it's returned. For a form saved as an .ASP file, the ASP file also contains Microsoft® ActiveX® controls and VBScript code. You can deploy a Microsoft English Query application on an ASP page.
