Ok, here it is.
My CS teacher and I have been running in circles trying to work with Interdev. We both purchased the MS Press book- but it seems to assume that one already has the server all set up for doing interdev type stuff. We even have been to a microsoft presentation titled 'Beginning Interdev'. I took careful mental notes, and am confident that I know just what steps to do in interdev to , say, link a label to a database connection and then browse the database.
I have a backup server to work with. NT server 4 with service pack 5, the option back, backoffice, sql, Visual Studio 6, and a year's worth of Technotes to work with. If it requires reinstalling NT server to get this working that is fine.
Can someone tell me _what_ to install, where to install it. Which 'switches' to flip, what settings to set. Which checkboxes to check, etc?
I am not asking for tips on writing SQL, or how to make ASP pages load faster. I simply want to know how I can get my server to run the MS Gallery sample that comes with Interdev. I figure that once the Gallery sample is working, I can actually start learning how to write stuff in Interdev.
So please, can anyone help me? Remember, I have all the software at hand, just need some pointers.

What do you want to ULTIMATELY accomplish? Learn VID? Write ASP Pages? I'm sorry, I can't help with the MS Gallery though...

Display data from Access MDBs on the web. A little sorting of the information. Hopefully using Interdev.

I got a book called Teach Yourself ASP in 21 days (or 24 hours) by SAMS and I used half of that book and I was able to use Interdev to make ASP pages that queried SQL server using vb com components, mts, etc.
The point is that you'll need to learn ASP, and in the process you'll pick up enough Interdev to get you to do what you really want to accomplish. I'm sure there are plenty of books on how to use interdev, but they probably won't tell you how to make ASP pages. The interdev GUI is pretty similar to VB, so I wouldn't worry too much about that app, I would worry about learning ASP.
