XML query problem

[Japskunk72]

I am setting up XML and SQL 2000 on windows 2000 sever runing IIS. I am trying to fallow a book in learning XML and the first thing i am trying to do is setup a virtual directory in IIS for SQL and set a databaes. after i do all this i go to Internet explorer and pass a select statement like this

http://localhost/drawings?sql=select

* from customers for xml auto

i try it with the + for spaces to and get the same results...

I am using the northwind database and trying to just display it on the webpage. its not working. i get a page cannot be displayed. is this because i do not have a default.html file? or should it just put the information in for me?

Thanks
