What sort of a file is it? You could try right clicking then 'open as' ... whichever is relevant. Dea x

Doreen, I received your pm but I am afraid you need someone more technical than me so I am putting the info you gave me on here. The file is an ASP - I know it can't be opened by internet explorer - I believe you have to save it as something then open it with something else so it CAN be opened but I am afraid I don't know how. I am sure someone on here will tell you how to do it. Best wishes, Dea x

Just Googled 'ASP files' and found this website explaining all about ASP files...not that it means much to me (a non-techie sort). Take out the brackets after copying/pasting. http://www(.)w3schools(.)com/asp/asp_intro.asp
