    Hi,
    Im having a problem with asp pages and a certain user. Basically as administrator I can see the page but when i log on as another user its just returning the back end source code and not the front end. Any ideas why this might be happening...

    Is it a public facing website? Can we see?

    Have you other ASP pages on the same server? Sure its not just a mime-type mapping issue?

    What address are you using to access the page? I had this issue before when a user was using \\machine-name\file.asp instead of http://server-name/file.asp.

    Just a suggestion,

    Could be an access problem - have you created a user on the IIS server for the machine they are logging in on/guest internet account?

    Could be a proxy/firewall problem, are the various users on the same network? Have you allowed access to the website on the firewall? on the client machine (some anti-virus s/w can come with it's own firewall)?

    Have you tried logging on as any other user or just admin and this user?

    Is it downloading the file (or prompting) or are you getting back the ASP code <% %> tags and all???

    Also what OS are you running it on? Windows 2003/Xp/Vista/2008? I am not going back as far as NT 4.0 & 2000! :p

    Could be a dodgy mime type as well

    Can you copy the following code into a text file and save it as an ASP file on your server
    
<%=Now()%>

    Should print out the current time.. If the code comes out then its possible a mime type or else its a fruity permissions issue
