I am trying to point the web site to a data base . In dreamweaver under data bases, I press modify data source and go into coldfusion. I select the Data source and microsoft access as the driver type and press add. I get an error message : Slelct file on the server: This applet displays a file tree of the server to enable the user to browse its contents. Your Browser is not configured correctly to use Java applets. Please install Java Runtime environtment and be sur eto install the browser plug ins.
I have already done this and I do not know wher to go from here. Can someone help me? I have a file in my coldfusion folder : coldfusion8/runtime/jre. Is there some manual way this needs to be connected?? Thanks

I have found one new element. When dreamweaver first loads there is a check box that has java load on it. I found this by logging into my computer under a new name and opening Dreamweaver for the first time under a new identity. Can I get this initial startup page back in Dreamweaver CS3 without having to reinstall the whole adobe CS3 suite???

Is there a step by step way of testing the java applets. Shouldn't this load automatically. I also checked the browser and the java applets is loaded.

I have not followed this thread, but you can also have problems with
that Java browser button in the CFIDE if you have RDS disabled.

If you using any database in your ColdFusion code, you are in fact using SQL (Structured query language).

The "Browse" error looks like the same problem you described above. Either you do not have the proper java plugin installed OR you have java disabled in your browser settings. I am not using Dreamweaver, so other than that I cannot assist you there, sorry.

Also I am only using coldfusion with Dreamweaver and not SQL or anyother program. I seem to be missing something. When I even start looking for the database I get an error message when pressing the first browse button. http://img19.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=databaseloading1.tif

It is just and example of what settings you might use for a unicode datasource. The datasource name can be whatever you want. Obviously the path to the database file should be changed to wherever your MS Access database is located on your computer.
