Janet, ASP and ASP dot Net (aka: not Yet, dot Nyet) are two very different beasts. If the site you're working on is in ASP, you'll likely find the dont Net books of little help. AFA installing IIS on your PC, no you don't have to, but if your server charges you for ftp bandwidth, it's a good idea to do so. Not to mention the fact that a little light server configuration is good for any developer :) The only thing you *have* to do to run .NEAT is have an enabled host and have the framework installed on your local PC (yes, that's right, an Operating System Plugin...) hth, Stephen http://www.mechavox.com/ ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
