hi - thanks for replying. I have followed a tutorial and got the IIS on my system(I am on Windows 2000 Pro). I have set up a folder in the wwwroot folder and another on desktop. Have set the desktop as my local files, wwwroot address as my testing server and url.
After setting up the DNS and database connectopn ok(I get the "drum" icon), I try to do the bindings to insert a recordset. It is ticked next to "site" and "document type" and when I click on set up testing server, it takes me back to the define sites testing server screen which is already filled out(I did this while setting up the site). I cant get any further than this.

hope this makes sense!
