Hi - using VS2005, VB.NET, ASP.NET 2.0, Program is server-client using IE6

I have a asp dropdown list box which I need to populate from a dataset returned from a SQL query. I need to change the background color of each list item according to two items in the dataset. Am using a generic function in a VB code behind as follows : It uses some functions in a DLL (CVSBusinessLog ic) which are hopefully self-explanatory and are not the issue....

Yes I should have said the 404 Error was "Page Not Found" Yes I am using IIS and your reference to C:\inetpub has jogged my memory on something I read a while back. I will go and look that up and see where we go from there. Meanwhile thank you very much for all your help I feel more confident now of cracking this one.
Best Regards

Thanks for replying Gits, actually you may have a good point there as I have only been running the code on my development system which is configured to act as both Server and Client. The .doc files ARE on the SERVER. I thought however that as both approaches seemed to work to some extent then it had to be a coding problem or more specifically something in ASP.NET. Presumably if you are right then running it on a PROPER Server-Client configuration...
