Introduction

ASPClassifieds is a full featured classifieds system for web sites running ACTIVE SERVER PAGES. (ASP). All ASP source code is included so it can be easily modified into a totally custom solution by anyone with good ASP development skills.

ASPClassifieds is not intended to be an out-of-the-box perfect solution. It is starting point for your Classified system needs. It has a ton of features and runs fine without customizations, but there may be little things you'll want to change that require editing the source code, an easy task for anyone with some ASP skills and a little common sense. Over 500 hours of development time has been put into this product and starting with this code could save even a skilled developer thousands of dollars, not to mention valuable time.

To use this system your web site must be hosted on a server running IIS and be able to process ACTIVE SERVER PAGES scripts. This system will also run on PWS which is primarily used on development machines. PWS is an excellent environment for testing ASP scripts as you can run it on any machine running the Win95/Win98 Operating System.

Disclaimer... www.ASPClassifieds.com makes no guarantee about the security this script offers. Use this at your own risk. To the best of knowledge it is very secure, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug or some hacker will never find a way into it. We recommend you rigorously test it and change the password on the Access database before you start using this. That way if someone downloads your database they will a hard time getting anything useful out of it especially since the database supplied with this download is also encrypted. There are utilities available to crack Access database's so if you really want secure password protection you should port this to a SQL database.  If using Access and your web is frontpage enabled you can right click on a folder in frontpage explorer and choose properties, this will allow you to uncheck "allow files to be browsed" which will stop people from downloading your Access database if they somehow figure out the URL.
