Hi, I am at the stage of making an initial contact with
an MS CMS 2001 user. They say that they would like
to store code fragments (such as .asp and .inc files).
In the MS CMS database. I'm new to MS CMS but in the
examples I've seen these types of files are stored by
IIS under the NR directory.

Does anyone out there know whether storing these
scripts in the database is possible and how you might
go about doing it?

Many Thanks,
Damian

Hi Damian,

INC files are opened by the ASP ISAPI extension using file IO methods.
Such methods will not be able to open INC files stored in the MCMS
repository.

ASP files would have to be downloaded to the filesystem before they can be
executed for the same reason. I assume that this will not work due to the
fact that the download would end up in the MCMS disk cache and not at the
location IIS tells the ISAPI extension.

Cheers,
Stefan
