open up your browser and browse to http://localhost/contactDemo/
you should see a menu as below.

If you dont see the menu then make sure pws\iis is started and
the folder you created the asp files in has permission to run
scripts!
click on contacts you should see this...

dont panic!
what you can see is the id numbers of your contacts(try clicking
on one!)
changing just one line of code will make ot look like this

So lets change that line!
Open up your html editor, or if you dont have one then open up
notepad and browse to your folder and open up the file contactslist.asp
locate the line that you can see below
(line 93 towards the bottom of the page!)
<a href=contactsdetail.asp?id=<%=rs("contactId")%>&pageno=<%=pageno%>><%=rs("contactId")%></a>
change the second instance of rs("contactid") to
rs("contactname")
<a href=contactsdetail.asp?id=<%=rs("contactId")%>&pageno=<%=pageno%>><%=rs("contactName")%></a>
save your file and refresh your browser.
now go to http://localhost/contactDemo/admin/
click on the contacts link
dont panic!
know whats coming next?
thats it - browse to your admin folder(located within your
contactDemo folder ) and open up the file contactListAdmin.asp
change the field contactid to contactname ( line
95 towards the bottom of the page ) in exactly the same place
as in the previous step.
Thats it !
Try adding some records.
See the 'front end' change to reflect your changes
what you have now is the backbone of a dynamic site which
would have many hours to hand code.*
the process is this simple for any other table. ( if you had
another table called companies then you would simply change
the same line in companiesList.asp and companiesListAdmin.asp
)
next step - change fonts,colors etc
next step - buy the full version! - and convert as many tables
as you like !
HAPPY CODING!
