ErrMsg: File .IDC Could Not Be Found (146726)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q146726 SYMPTOMS
The following Error message appears on your web browser when you try to
access an .IDC (Internet Database Connector) file on an Internet
Information Server (IIS):
'file:c:\scripts/samples/viewbook.idc?' could not be found.
The attempt to load 'file:c:\scripts/samples/viewbook.idc?' failed.
CAUSE
Web Browsers send requests to IIS to access its databases. These queries
are conveyed in .IDC files. The .IDC file passes the request to database
through the file, HTTPODBC.DLL. Database results are then sent back to the
client in a .HTX file.
The .IDC file passes the request to HTTPODBC.DLL only if the request is
received over the HTTP protocol. If you use the following syntax to access
the .IDC file, IIS sends the content of the .IDC file back to the Web
Browser, instead of the results from the database query.
File:///c:\<directory path>/viewbook.idc
RESOLUTION
Use HTTP to access an .IDC file. For example:
http://<path>/viewbook.idc?
