-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you enter a negative number (for example, "-1") in the ASP files cached in
memory text box in the Internet Services Manager (ISM), you may receive the
following error message:

  Unacceptable Character
  You can only type a number here.

CAUSE
=====

The ASP file cache text boxes can only contain positive integers.

RESOLUTION
==========

Although there is no option to cache an unlimited number of files in memory, you
can specify up to 2,000,000,000 files to be cached in memory.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Although "-1" (meaning unlimited in-memory cache) is a legal metabase value for
the AspScriptFileCacheSize property, this cannot be changed in the ISM. The ISM
can only contain positive integers.
