I'm looking for a classic ASP debugger. Prefer free or doesn't cost that much.

Thanks for the help

You may be able to use the free Visual Web Developer Express to debug classic ASP pages. You may download VWD from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/ . And here's a tip for setting up Visual Studio for ASP debugging: http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/18204

Can I set up debugger for classic ASP in Visual Studio 2008? I don't have Visual Studio 2005 or 2003.

If you have VS 2008 why are you not using ASP.NET vs classic ASP?

I have to support some legacy applications (written in classic asp) in my new job. So I am trying to find a debugger for these classic asp pages. yes, I know I need to rewrite them. As there is no support documents around, I need to know how it works before I rewrite them... : (

I don't have any classic ASP apps to test this on, but I think if you opened one up using the debugger for ASP.NET it would try to convert it.

That may, or may not, be true. Can you copy one of your apps to a safe test place (so if you wind up screwing the whole thing up it won't be any big deal. ) and see what happens when you try to open it up with ASP.NET
