IIS 5.1 (XP Pro) Will not run DBR wizard using FP 2002

I've used the DBR wizard to pull information from a table plenty of times on win2k and win2003 servers. Never had any issues.

Today a customer wanted to run a web site off their box using WinXP pro. Told them it can be done no problem. However, when trying to pull information from a database using the DBR wizard, the DBR table displays a message I've never seen before:

"This is the start of the Database Results region. The page must be fetched from a web server with a web browser to display correctly; the current web is stored on your local disk or network"

And of course, when the page is diplayed it states the generic Database error. Contact your System Admin.

-IIS 5.1 is running on WinXP Pro
-Running 2002 extensions (did not install 2000, d/l the 2002)
-All patches have been run.
-No problems viewing any .htm / .html pages
-No problems running Sharepoint admin
-Using NTFS
-No problems with permissions

When I check Tools / Web Settings / Database tab, the database connection is verified.

When I check Tools / Web Settings / General tab, I noticed another strange message I've never seen before regarding the server status:

"No server currently in use"

Yet IIS 5.1 is running just fine....


Anyone have any suggestions? Please...

Sounds like your using a disk path instead of the server
path.
Go to internet explore >Tools > Internet Options >
Advanced > Uncheck display friendly HTTP Error messages,
to see the real problem.
