I have simple ASP code to work in the Nokia Toolkit and on the WAP page but when I want to connect to a SQL Sever 7 I only get error messeges. The ASP connection works on a normal HTML page so why does'nt it work in WML? It's still ASP code right? There isn't a special ASP language for WML is there?

How would a DSN less connection in ASP look like to work with WML?

I think the conection is the same on html pages and on wml, because asp pages run at server and make a response to browser, in our case a wap phone, so the connection with datase is the same.

It should work. You must add

on the first line of your asp code, then go about using wml code in the asp file as you do using html. In asp files very much the same
but make sure the asp is run from the IIS server and in the toolkit change the settings to use http server. You wil encounter some problems when using 7110, but the blueprint phone simulator in Nokia toolkit will work brilliantly. If possible purchase wrox pres

Have a look at www.corobori.com/wap where we have a couple of samples available for download showing how to use ASP with WML.
