Please i would like to know if it is possible to restict a file to an
IP address. i.e: It would only open on a system based on its IP
address. Thanks.

If you mean based on the remote client's IP address,
[insofar as no proxi is used by the cliest]
and by "open" "showing it's rendered content":

<% 'vbscript
q = request.servervariables("remote_addr")
If q <> "123.456.789.123" then server.transfer "\404.asp"
%>
<html>
<body>

In IIS Manager find the ASP file or folder that you want to restrict access
to.
Open properties and selecte security tab
In IP address and domain name restrictions click edit...
Ensure Grant Access is selected then click Add..
Add the IP address or range of address you want to give access.
