    <p>I'm building a site on a Windows Server with ASP enabled. I need to retrieve an XML document from another server and return a value in that document. The xml file is small - only one node with a text value. I just need to return that text value. I've never worked with ASP before, and Googling around has led me to some code examples, but nothing that works so far. Here's what I've got, which gives me a 500:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% Dim URL, objXML URL = "http://someserver.com/xml" Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0") objXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True objXML.async = False objXML.Load(URL) If objXML.parseError.errorCode &lt;&gt; 0 Then Response.Write(objXML.parseError.reason) Response.Write(objXML.parseError.errorCode) End If Set oRoot = objXML.selectSingleNode("//xml/response") var = oRoot.text set objXML = nothing %&gt; &lt;%= var %&gt; </code></pre> <p>===========</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>Yes, you're exactly correct about my XML. Just one node with a value. Based on your comments, I edited my asp code to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% Dim URL, objXML, value URL = "http://someserver.com/xml" Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0") objXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True objXML.async = False objXML.Load URL Response.Write objXML.parseError.reason value = objXML.documentElement.Text set objXML = nothing %&gt; &lt;%= value %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Which is still returning a 500. How do I go about debugging ASP? Is there some way to turn on detailed error reporting?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
