| Thank you. I understand. I ran the test to open 127.0.0.1 and get "page
| cannot be displayed" and for sure don't have a Web server running. I
access

|
| I will install the limited IIS server to get the functionality that is
| missing during development. I wouldn't be surprised but what the IIS got
| deleted somewhere in my many install/uninstall cycles of stuff.
|
| I should probably check to see if there is a newer version of IIS than the
| one that comes on the original Win2K install CD unless you know this and
can

|
| Thank you very much again.
