3-tier or 2-tier refers to whether you have separate web, application, and database servers (that would be a 3 tier configuration). ASP is nothing more than a server side scripting langauge, and it knows nothing of "tiered" configurations. However, that being said, most ASPs I've seen are two tier - they connect the web server directly to a database server. Rarely I have seen an ASP connect to an application server like Tuxedo and funnel queries through it.

I'd say an ASP page accessing COM objects to retrieve data and to apply business logic as being a 3-tier app??
