I am a beginner at FP so any help on this would be greatly apprecaited.

This is for a simply "Intranet" setup through a network. I am trying to insert a database result from an excel spreadsheet into FP. I went through the wizard steps and it all seemed successful, but when I try saving the page, it pops up to rename the page with a file extension of ".asp". So, assuming I would simply go to folder list and change the extension of my file from Employee.htm to Employee.asp, but when I do so, the last popup says
Server error: cannot rename "C:\...\Employee_files" to "C:\...Employee_files":destination already exists.
I'm clueless as to what I need to do with this.
Also, once I have this done, I would need to publish this onto the Intranet, anyone foresee this causing any problems doing so?

Thanks.
 
Hi jfussell,
If you are going to run these .asp pages on your intranet you will need Microsoft IIS installed or if it's linux something like Chillisoft ASP.
Regarding the renaming problem, try renaming the files to .asp before going through the wizard, this should solve the problem
