Asp page not reloading in website, old version cached?

We have made some changes to an asp page in our website. The new page was copied over the old one in the website folder. When viewing the page through IE, the old page comes up, as if it's cached. Yet when editing it with Dreamweaver CS3, it's the new code. This sounds like some sort of caching on the website side, any ideas?

Are you sure that the page has actually been pushed out to the server?
To make sure I would delete the server copy, then sync the page again.

Then, when you get to the page in your web browser, press CTRL+F5.

The file was physically removed, and copied in again. And I've refreshed and deleted temporary internet files, etc. And it's not just me, but several other users who are still seeing old versions of the page. So there is some caching somewhere.

Refresh doesn't work. It is our employee intranet site, and this is the first dynamic page, everything else is static html. And silly isn't silly after you've tried almost everything you can think of. I did delete the file, and I got your user friendly ie message about a missing page. So I think I may be at the restart IIS stage.

sfaul,

Before restarting your server what happens if you add some random number (e.g. filename123.asp instead of filename.asp) to the file name? Does that page appear correct and up to date?

What version of IIS and what is the OS for the server? What do you get if you try viewing the page in Firefox or some other browser on the same computer? What about IE on another computer?

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Stopping and restarting IIS was the only thing that worked. Thanks for the help.
