This little Classic ASP developer community has - pretty much like all other ASP communities - been blown away by bigger and more popular players in the web development industry. Classic ASP developers and products have become completely irrelevant over the years. MicroSoft is to blame. It focussed on .NET and dropped Classic ASP and its friendly community back in the days. I wish I had never used Classic ASP in the first place and that I would have used PHP from day 1 back in 1998. It would have meant a big deal looking back at my web development career. As if that's not enough, MicroSoft recently announced to deprecate and remove VBScript from Windows OS: [url]https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/vbscript-deprecation-timelines-and-next-steps/bc-p/4170125[/url]. First tests indicate that Classic ASP pages that use VBScript as their server language simply stop working and generate a general 500-error message. For what it's worth: a petition was started to bring this issue to MicroSoft's attention: [url]https://www.change.org/p/ask-microsoft-to-cancel-their-planned-deprecation-of-vbscript-classic-asp[/url]. Please consider to sign this petition. Many thanks. Pieter Cooreman [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
