Re: A dreamweaver and database problem

Thank you adatapost,

I just checked the registry entries and there are a few among which the 3.5 is the latest...
I'm also using IIS 7.

Re: A dreamweaver and database problem

GregoryHouseMD,

I think you have configured database connection using oledb.
-- If No, Click on Database Tab + Oledb connection + Provider
must be : Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0.

Now, open .aspx page and you can see the DB link - it is enabled.

Re: A dreamweaver and database problem

the thing is I cant add an OLE DB conenction... the + I'm suppose to click to add the connection is greyed out...

Also I did some designing on the page, but had the 3 ticks in the database tab before I started this, but the + was greyed out even then

Re: A dreamweaver and database problem

To configure a website with DW, you have to create a folder with any name in c:\inetpub\wwwroot. For example, create a new folder and rename is with testsite.

After the prev. step - you have to configure "testsite" as a virtual folder with IIS - administrative tool (control panel).
