Thank you for trying the Classified Ad system.  

This is a pre beta program.  (It should be all working).  We developed this program in order to fill the need of a GOOD free classified ad system.  Currently the free version is fully functional with the user interface.  We are not curently including the admin menu with the free version.  Don't let this discourage you, all you have to do is open the database up and manually edit the database.  This is a hassle to encourage you to upgrade to the full version.  To make it a little easier there are 6 ads and a few catergories to get you started.  Feel free to change the datebase entries, but remember that they are all case senestive.  In the value fields there cannot be any spaces.  You do not need to change the listings, unless you create ads or delete them in the database directly.  When using the asp code they will keep track of themselves.

You are not allowed to change any code and claim that you made it.  There are instructions in the first few lines of code.  Please change only the 2 pieces of code that are mentioned in the instructions.

We designed this script to allow the user to put the files on the computer, and run with only changing one line of asp code.  (Changing the server path for the database)  If you find that you need to change code IN ORDER TO GET IT TO WORK please email us webmaster@rockfordarea.com.  We realize that these instructions are limited, but remember that this is a free program.  

This program was created in Frontpage 2000.  We did not use any special functions except validation, which writes it own java script code.  This means that you should not need any FP extensions on your server.  Just a word of advice I would use FP2000, or FP98 to edit the html.  It makes it a lot easier to work with. (and quicker)  I tried opening with MS Visual InterDev 6.0, and evethough it would open it would not let me switch to design view.  Good Luck.

Once again please feel free to contact us.  webmaster@rockfordarea.com
