Hello,

I have an issue connecting Microsoft Access to dreamweaver it says " Access is denied " I have already talked to my instructor about it and we tried to look for a sloutin so I'm pretty sure I wrote the right path & the right login information later my instructor said she can't help us anymore because it's supposed to be self-learning. a note a lot of my classmates are dealing with this issue

I had to double check the date of this post.  I thought I had traveled back in time about 20 years!

 

1. Access is not supported.

2. Macromedia Dreamweaver is dead. 

3. Anyone teaching a course based on outdated Internet technologies & software should be put out of business.  I hope you and your classmates can get a full refund for whatever you paid. The information is useless in 2023.

 

Modern websites require modern software that understands current Internet & browser standards. Start here:

 

Read chapters, do code exercises, take quizzes at the end.

Hahha well for years students suffered with this project. and no matter what they wouldn't  change a thing.  they even asked adobe's compnay to release a newer verison.. which is upsetting , thankfully I'm still using free trial for the next two weeks. But I have a question if you don't mind can I still make a connection between database and dreamweaver with those links they you sent ? Because that's the whole project idea and i will get asked about it in the presentation

From the list that @Nancy OShea showed, only Wappler Pro has native server behaviours.

 

Have a look at this video that I published

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

What version of Dreamweaver is that? Server behaviors were removed many years ago and may no longer function due to updates in the platforms or may pose security risks where they do function as the scripts were written many years ago. Your best bet is to write the connection script yourself, or look for a third party application that supports Access and Dreamweaver.
