ASP page not working

[msturges]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a problem with a link to a specific ASP page. When I click on the link from a browser, I am prompted to download the page rather than executing the code within. I cannot figure out why.
The code for the asp is supposed to create a text file on the server and then redirect the browser. Code looks like this:
<%
response.buffer=True

strPath = &quot;c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\TempWebAccessXML\user1&quot;

'This line creates an object(fso) that is used for File Access
set fso = Server.CreateObject(&quot;scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

'The following lines define the path and name of the temporary text file

strScriptPath = strPath & &quot;\1234\scripts\&quot;
tmpTextFileName = &quot;Accept.txt&quot;
tmpTextFilePath = CStr(strScriptPath)
createFile = CStr( tmpTextFilePath & tmpTextFileName )
set myFile = fso.CreateTextFile(createFile, true)

'Create text for above created file
line1 = &quot;Text goes here&quot;


'WriteLine writes the text to the text file.
myFile.WriteLine(line1)

myFile.Close

redirectDocument = &quot;c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\TempWebAccessXML\default.asp&quot;

response.redirect(redirectDocument)
%>

Can anyone tell me why this is happening??

Much appreciated
Thanks
Mike

change this:

redirectDocument = &quot;c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\TempWebAccessXML\default.asp&quot;

response.redirect(redirectDocument)

to this:

redirectDocument = &quot;

http://localhost/TempWebAccessXML/default.asp&quot;

response.redirect(redirectDocument)

ASP pages must be accessed via http:// protocol.

I tried that, but the result is still the same.

I don't think it's even reaching that point in the ASP file yet. The minute I click the link to the asp file from the previous page I get the prompted to download the asp file itself. I don't think it's 'reading' it at all.

any more suggestions??

If your webserver is running (PWS, IIS, whatever), and you access the page via http:// protocol, then it won't try to download.

The only way it will try to download is if you try to access it via a disk path:

c:\path\file.asp

The link you're clicking must have that type of path in it. Double check everything.
