Do you hear that huge sigh of relief? That's me feeling 1000% better
about my situation.

I'm sure that will come up.

We needed to get it done, and we knew classic ASP would work on their
IIS server.

This whole project has been a disaster. As I said, this is the second
time we've built it. Yesterday, we also found out that OIT does not
allow uploads of files over HTTP, which completely wrecks everything.
We can take that stuff out, but it's kind of sillly to have a CMS
where you have to FTP your images and other files to the site.
