Hi Stefan,

You probably missed this post:

...
And attempting access via http://localhost/test.asp
...

Not sure what you mean by "not disk based".
Other than incorrectly (me) attempting to execute an *.asp file
by double-clicking on it
as if it were a properly associated windows file like .vbs or .doc.
( although I wonder why its can't be assocaited as such,
    (thats too much detail at the moment) )

All localhost is (for me) local disked based as in located on local hard
drive.
Specifically C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.
We're just executing thru - what ? - iis and front page server extensions ?

Perhaps its just that .asp is associated with Front Page instead of IIS?
(another rabbit hole to get lost in chasing up answers)

I've lowered the security on my server to Low - IIS Page and its executing
properly on my localhost now.

Again, too much detail to chase up what this does to my local security.

I'd prefer to be spending all this time on developing a nice web site... ;)

All the best to all those replying to my questions and all those trying sort
these issues out...
