What directory do I have to put my ASP pages in?
The server will parse ASP pages in any and all directories

How do I connect to my Access Database?
You connect using DSN connections which you set up using the control panel
An example connection script is here

Where should I upload my database to?
You should use the /username/yourdomain.com/db directory to store your databases in, this is above your webspace and so is a much safer place to store sensitive information

What ASP components are installed?
Jmail is installed on all servers. More information can be found at http://tech.dimac.net Please note: We are now running version 4.3 and the SMTP server address is now localhost. Please see our ASP Example page for a generic script which will work on all forms.

ASPUpload is also  installed. This is an Active Server component which enables an ASP application to accept, save and manipulate files uploaded with a browser. The files are uploaded via an HTML POST form with one or more <INPUT TYPE=FILE> tags. The <FORM> tag must contain the attribute ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
More information can be found at http://www.aspupload.com/
