I'm very new to the whole programming world and wondered if there was anything of importance that I should not submit within an ASP page when asking for help. I've searched my FrontPage code and cannot see anywhere within that has the password and username to access my database using an ASP page. I just want to protect myself when asking for help and posting examples.
Sorry to ask such a basic and simple question...

don't post server names, ip addresses, or passwords. Not as important but -- don't post real drive letters to paths on internet facing web servers if you can avoid it.
change those things to something like
\\myServer
\\myIPAddress
myUserId/MyPwd

I try searching for this and making the changes you recommended but using FrontPage creates lots of code using the Design mode and from what I've seen none of the server or account information is saved within the actual .asp page. Does FrontPage call another file with this informaiton like the global.asa file?
