STS: Error Message When You View ASP Page: Cannot Complete This Action
This article was previously published under Q282804
When you view an Active Server Pages (ASP) page in a Web browser, you receive the following error message:
Cannot complete this action.
Please try again.
If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.
This behavior can occur if you insert a FrontPage Web component on an ASP page in a Web site based on SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft. Web pages that contain FrontPage Web components, such as lists, document libraries, or discussion boards, cannot have an Active Server Pages (ASP) file extension. This can occur when a page that contains a FrontPage Web component is saved with the Active Server Pages (.asp) file extension.
For security reasons, either the ASP engine or FrontPage Server Extensions should process the HTTP request, but not both.
To resolve this problem, use Microsoft FrontPage to open the SharePoint team Web site, and then rename the page with the Hypertext Markup Language (.htm) file extension.
A possible workaround to mixing ASP and SharePoint Team Services pages is to insert an inline frame (IFRAME) that references an external ASP page.
NOTE: This workaround uses HTML that may not be available in all browsers. For more information about this topic, please refer to the FrontPage 2002 Help sections about "compatibility".
Insert an Inline Frame
- Open a page in FrontPage 2002, and then place the insertion point where you want to place the inline frame.
- On the Insert menu, click Inline Frame.
- Click the Set Initial Frame button.
- Choose the ASP page that you want to include, and then click OK.
When a Web client browses the Web page, the ASP page will be retrieved separately and rendered by the ASP script engine in the inline frame.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
