I think HttpHandlers will do the trick.

So in regards to filling in my link tags, does that mean I can map it onto ThatPage.xml?

You can only map it to types that ASP.NET is in charge of handling. I just took a quick look on this box and I don't see it in the IIS MMC snapin.
If you look in the machine.config file (located in the %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%DOTNETVERSION%\Config directory) you will see a section called httpHandlers, it looks like this is where it tells IIS what types ASP.NET will be handling.
You can add a new handler in this list to specify what should be done when that file is requested, if the HttpHandler documentation isn't good you can check the source to the provided handlers with ILDASM or Anakrino to see how they work.

So would I be better coming up with my own file type, e.g. .mhc (the page is for my "company", MadHamster Creations)? That way I could have any files of that type be handled as I wanted? Keep in mind, at this point I just want a vague idea of what's possible and what's not, and most importantly, what exactly I should put in my <Link> tages in the meantime!

Yes, I would; otherwise your handler is going to be called whenever an xml file is requested; which isn't a good thing, especially if you plan on sharing the server with others (outside of your company or other developers who don't know about your handler).
I know I've seen an example somewhere of creating an HttpHandler, but I can't find a reference to it now

Custom HttpHandlers should work (Chris already mentioned this.)
Another way you could do this would be to create a Custom 404 handler. Let people type in ThatDoc.asp (or ThatDoc.whatever), see if it is actually your XML file and if so render it, otherwise do standard 404 stuff.

I need to have my SQL perform a search on the following table:
Table: News
==================================================
PKID Source newsText newsURL|
==================================================
00001 Microsoft Something www.ms.com
00002 Sun Something www.sun.com
00003 Apple Something www.apple.com
...And so on
SELECT * FROM News
Would fill my recordset with all the fields from the News table. However in my site I have an options feature where users can select News by Source
Microsoft
Apple
Sun
Intel
Etc...
These options are stored in cookies and are later used in displaying the news. Depending on the news source options selceted only certain feilds should be displayed.
What would be the best way of doing this...?
Should I use seperate Select statements for each option checked...?
Like this?
If microsoftNews.checked = true Then
SELECT * From News WHERE Source = 'Microsoft'
'Iterate the recordset and display news items
Else If sunNews.checked = true Then
SELECT * FROM News WHERE Source = 'Sun'
'Iterate the recordset and display news items
Else If appleNews.checked = true Then
SELECT * FROM News WHERE Source = 'Apple'
'Iterate the recordset and display news items
End if 'Etc...
Or should I generate the entire SQL statement depending on options checked...?
I tried this earlier but it turned out to be harder than I desired.
I hope I explained myself clearly...
Any suggestions...? 
Thanx!

I am not sure if I've understood your question correctly... Is this what you are looking for?
Dim SQL, Keyword
Select Case True
Case microsoftNews.checked
Keyword = "Microsoft"
Case sunNews.checked
Keyword = "Sun"
Case appleNews.checked
Keyword = "Apple"
Case Else
Keyword = ""
End Select
SQL = "SELECT * From News WHERE Source = '" & Keyword & "'"
'Iterate the recordset and display news items

Nope, sorry!
The news feed should only display news by topic of interest (selected by user and stored in cookies).
So if Microsoft and Sun and Apple and Intel are checked AND AMD and Adobe and Claris are NOT checked, then I must construct some SQL statement on the fly according to the options set.
Select case True
Case microsfotNews.checked
Keyword = Keyword + "Microsoft"
...And so on...
I'm wondering if it would be easier to just use seperate SQL statments for each checkbox fill a recordset write it to screen and move onto the next...?
Sorry if i'm unclear, but it's super early in the morning and i'm just ready to goto sleep.
Cheers!

You can try this
Select * from News Where Source In ('pref1', 'pref2', 'pref3', 'pref4', ...)
It may or may not be case sensitive, I think that depends on the database settings.

Well, then James is right and your code should look like this:
Dim SQL, Keywords
<br> <br>
Keywords = ""
<br> <br>
If microsoftNews.checked Then
Keywords = Keywords & "'Microsoft',"
End If
If sunNews.checked Then
Keywords = Keywords & "'Sun',"
End If
If appleNews.checked Then
Keywords = Keywords & "'Apple',"
End If
<br> <br>
If Len(Keywords) > 0 Then
' Remove last comma
Keywords = Left(Keywords, Len(Keywords) - 1)
End If
<br> <br>
SQL = "SELECT * From News WHERE Source IN (" & Keywords & ")"
'Iterate the recordset and display news items

Sweet i'll try it out and hope for the best.

Hello,
I have been trying with no success to use this NewMail object on the
CDONTS library. It is very simple to script this, but I get a VBScript
Runtime error as follows:
'800a0046' Permission Denied
This occurs in my ASP page.
The script looks like:
dim oMail
set oMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
oMail.Send "NoReply@www.abc.com", "abc@xyz.net"
Does anybody have any idea why I would get this runtime error when I execute the Send method?
Best Regards,

I have a web page where I have text files (some with HTML commands included) that are loaded into a page using FSO. I can't get the text to wrap properly when it is loaded into a table - it just keeps extending across the page, pulling the whole layout out of whack. I have no idea why this happens, as the text theoretically should just wrap within the table.
What I am wondering is if anyone knows a way to go through the text file, and once say 80 characters has been exceeded, replace the next available space between words with a line break? and then keep going through all the text until each line is roughly 80 characters or so long. (I just don't want to end up cutting up any HTML commands) e.g. I wouldn't want to end up with <bod<br>Y>. Of course, if you had any lo-tech ideas as to fixing up the display of a text file read into a table, then that'd be just as good...

If you are using the FSO object then just append a "<br>" at the end of your WriteLine method.

I want to create a web page where the user inputs
some number, I multiply that number by some special
number and it returns a new number. Here is the catch,
the special number is important to me and I don't
want other people to know what that number is. If I
just use java or simple html, anyone can go to Edit/
View Source and see my special number.
Is there any way of doing this? Or is there a way
to make html execute some simple c++ program and then
retrieve the number that it returns. I can easily write
something in c++ to multiple the user inputted number
with my number and return the new number, but I don't
know how to get html to execute a c++ file.
Any ideas? Any thoughts? Any code?
Any response you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle (an overworked graduate student)

Well, you need to use some Server-Side scripting. ASP for example. But it depends on what your provider supports. It can be Perl, PHP or whatever. Ask your hosting provider what type of Server-side scripting languages he support.

If you have cgi enabled with your web provider you can program it in c++
<centre>
Now taking suggestions for a new sig. please email me all suggestions.

Is this special number for encryption...?
You can use cgi along with the POST(I think) method.
GET will show your special number in the URL bar which would be undesirable if your passing a credit card number or something else that secret.
However people can still view your data sent VIA POST using packet sniffers, only it's not as easy as URL encoded data.
So if your wanting to pass secret numbers to a cgi app on the server I think you would wanna use SSL.
I'm not sure I totally understood you here...however...
The response you got previously suggested you were after some way of storing your secret number in a CGI app on the server...
I don't think this will work either, cuz people can still view your perl scripts or php...on the server thus reveiling your secret number.

I wrote a small utility JScript cookie helper class thats posted here on CP. I'm using it in the development of my own site but I am also using ASP.
This is where the problem comes in...My cookie object stop working properlynow that i'm using ASP...
Do client/server cookies clash...?
Should I always use ASP for cookie managment...?
Thanx!

It depends on the context that you are trying to use the cookies to store information. I'm guessing you are having problems viewing cookie information (in ASP) that you created/modified on the client browser?
