Please can someone tell me why when i try to view info on my grandad i get an ASP file up which is not recognised by windows xp therefore i cant open it is there no microfilch anymore that you can look at have only just joined again after a year thank you Dor

Have you got a new computer since you last viewed the details of your Grandad? Where is the info you are trying to look at, is it on a website, or on something you load into your computer? Anne

Doreen has sent me a message: Hello Anne no we have got the same computer and have found 2 or 3 of our grand-parents but cant get any further because of this asp file i got names up on genes reunited have used quite a few credits thank you for answering Dor Can anyone help her, please??? Anne

Doreen - exactly where is this file you can't view - saved on your computer or on a website? If it's saved on your computer, youprobably won't be able to open it as asp files aren't really meant to be saved. If it's on a website, what's the url? If you don't know that what's the name of the person and where were you looking. Please reply on this thread, not in a private message.

Another message from Doreen: Hi anne yes it came from genes i clicked on view and then cencus and thats when the asp file came up this has all changed since i was on it last Thanks again Dor Doreen, if you reply on here everyone can see it and try to help. Anne

Files with the extension.asp ASP is the file extension for the Active Server Page associated with an HTML file containing a Microsoft server-processed script. So they are generated each time you load the page on the web. They will save, but when you try to open them offline they don't work because they're looking for information online. So don't save asp files. Select all the information you want on the page and copy/paste into a word document or whatever.
