Notepad.  :)

Seriously, any development environment will work - ASP pages are 100%
interpreted by the server, so there's no "build" step at alll and deployment
is nothing more than copying the files to the server.

As others have said, you don't need any particular development
environment to modify classic ASP. It sounds like you are new to this
programming environment. If so, I would recommend that you work with a
text editor other than notepad, specifically one which will give you
some help with the syntax. Syntax coloring, code snippets. I don't
know if there are any free ones but none are very expensive. I have
used Homesite  http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ , UltraEdit
http://www.ultraedit.com/ , and Visual Slick Edit
http://www.slickedit.com/ .

Hi Betty

contrary to your assumption, i am not new to software development, have been
a developer since 1986, i know there is a version for development of .asp
pages in Visual Studio 6.0, have not used it so much. I suppose microsoft
has decided to scrap that development environment and maybe possibly .asp in
the longrun.

anyway thanks to you and all others who have replied to my post.

The version for development for asp pages in VS6 was Visual InterDev.
I think what Betty is trying to say is it's easier to use a text
editor than Visual Interdev. Never having used VI, I can't say.

MS isn't scrapping asp, they are "improving" it, so everything is
ASP.Net now, which has an extension of aspx.

Good luck.

Hi Robin

yes, indeed it is easy to develop using a text editor.

I have been developing using text editors (NE or Norton Editor) since my
days of using MS-DOS (the black screen) , when i developed  Clipper based
applications.

But what about the the excellent Property Browsing facility available in VS
IDE, i dont think any text editors can do that, i am very much in a habit
of using this facility, some times i use property browing facility instead
of referring MSDN it is much faster, at times i do some dummy typing to view
properties and methods

I still like to believe that .asp is on the way out, to be replaced
completely by .aspx

You'll get some of that by using Visual Studio 2003 or 2005 - they don't
explicitly support ASP development, but they do understsand JScript and
HTML.  Unfortunately, there's no way to get Visual Interdev anymore - it and
all of VS98 is no longer available in any form, unless you can find it on
Ebay or find a colleague that has an old set of disks.

I don't think you'll find many people that disagree with you.  While ASP
will no doubt be supported for years to come, there's been no new
development of ASP technology by MSFT for at least 5 years.

Well, yes, MS has, in fact, scraped "Classic ASP".

ASP.NET is not, in any way, related to "Classic ASP" and MS no longer makes
any software for "Classic ASP" development.

Notepad++ is pretty nice, if you're going that way.
