No ideas but here is a bit of my experience using Visual Interdev and SQL Server 7.0/2000. I do not use the DTC’s as I find them to be too limited and flaky. Going from I.E. 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 (with the latest SP’s installed) will provide you with a different “browser experience” by using each one. How each on instantiates an ASP form is a unique story. There is a list of problems with each browser and you can forget Netscape! The most stable of the lot is I.E. 5.0 – would you believe?

I do not have the answer – yet! But I have to know how to get ASP and I.E. browsers as listed above to work as expected. I know! Just convert everything to .NET! That will solve everything!

I get tired of the changing technology when it does not work as advertised.

Oh here is something else to consider! I have a major ASP application. The first form worked fine with OLE DB. The second form did not. I went to ODBC and all is well!
