Question I'm gonna go with ASP but....

I've found an ASP forum script that I want to use on my home server. It uses an access 2000 database. After setting it up I try to run it and it just shows me the script, not the forum.

Will I need a special program to run the *.asp files from my home machine?

i think that you need to be running a server that supports it. i learned this a while ago but cant remember. i -think- it was a certain microsoft pgm you need to use, other people probably know better. sorry

I believe you'll need Microsoft IIS (aka. PWS like erucader mentioned) to host .asp files. It comes with Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, and Windows XP Prof.
