Hi,
When I try to preview asp page in IE 6, it opens the browser and that's it - nothing happens, progress bar goes half way and then stops. I checked and rechecked my configuration multiple times. All other asp pages work, including ones that use the same Access database that the page that can't be previewed.
I use Win XP Pro, Dreamweaver MX, IIS is running, trying to preview on the same PC. Typing http//:localhost opens IIS default page. Typing http//:localhost(or 127.0.0.1)/mysite/page.asp does the same thing as the preview from DW MX.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled DWMX - didn't help.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled IIS - didn't help.
I installed all patches from Microsoft.
Please, does anyone have ANY idea what might be wrong?<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Thank you in advance for your help.

If you look at the page source, do you see anything at all (when viewing in IE6)?

Also, you may want to go to IE's tools menu, Internet Options &gt; Advanced, and uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages" (That allows you to see full error messages as opposed to the built in IE truncated ones."
Also, you may want to check your default web site execute permissions- as well as the permissions on the database - if you are just testing yourself, make sure the Everyone group or IUSR_Machinename has read write permissions on the .MDB file.

<i>progress bar goes half way and then stops</i> - It sounds like you have a continuos loop somewhere in your code. The page is getting stuck in the loop and eventually timing out.

Post up your code and lets take a look.

OEASTWICK! Thank you very, very much! I did find a loop at the end of code, i removed it, and everything worked. The loop was part of the code that showed how many times this page was viewed.
Thank you again, you rule.
