>Positive. Can't do it within Notepad.

Well, I created a text file in notepad, and put this in it:

<%if "true" = "true" then%>
True!
<%else%>
False!
<%End if%>

and saved it as http://24.14.98.235/notepad.asp
Since this works, I would imagine any other VBScript would, including ADO connections to SQL Server? I can't test it, but wouldn't you agree?
