Front Page 00 & ASP

I use front page 2000 to edit my asp pages. Every time I try to view an asp page using the preview in browser option, I am promted to save the file and even after I save it I can not view it.
It opens the code page instead of the preview.
Any suggestions??
I would like to know if is there any software other than front page and Inter Dev that I can use to edit and preview my asp files directly and smoothly.
I used to be able to do that before I installed IE6.0
Thank you for taking the time to read my problem

ASP requires to be run off the server ... you can't "just preview it"....
To answer your question, no.... no matter what you use to edit the ASP code, it is still going to need to be sent to a server then executed........

I know. I am using IIS5.0 and it's turned on
I can view my asp pages if I go to my IIS serve and choose and file and then click on browse.
I used to view my asp page using front page.

If your ASP page has scripts that need to be executed on it, then there will be a problem viewing it. You can view your executed ASP page through Internet explorer.

Just type http://localhost/pathtofolder/filename.asp
