IIS version 5.4 errors with ASP & XP-Pro

IIS Server Version 5.4 is available on the Windows XP Pro
CD.

I need help configuring the server to serve up ASP pages
from an Access database. The personal web servers that
came with Windows98 or Front Page never had a problem with
ASP. Something is much different with the package supplied
with XP. Maybe there is an additional component to be
installed. I create my ASP with FP 2000 which also creates
the ODBC connector. Calling up the ASP page from a browser
always causes the same error messages:

Database Results Error
The database connection named 'Database1' is undefined.

This problem can occur if:
* the connection has been removed from the web
* the file 'global.asa' is missing or contains errors
* the root folder does not have Scripting permissions
enabled
* the web is not marked as an Application Root

Thanks in advance with any help,

Dan

It's a well known issue with FP2000...
