I also use the Server Behaviors - commands.  I have been coding in Dreamweaver since it was Ultradev 4.  I'm now on my 4th copy of DW (CS4) and this is the first version where the commands DO NOT WORK.  I don't know about CS3, but CS4 will not even recognize that the command exists.  I've gone through Ultradev 4, MX, 8 and now CS4.  It's is extremely frustrating now that I've built numerous dynamic applications that use these commands.  The beauty of the commands is that you can simply call SQL stored procedures, which is so much more powerful than just running a simple SQL query from the web page.

Now unfortunately, I can't update any of my old applications since CS4 does not recognize any of the commands that were created in the prior versions of DW.  My only way around this is to use DW 8.  So now I have two versions of DW that I need to use to maintain these sites.

BTW - I'm using .asp/javascript for most of my sites/applications.

Please, please, please, Adobe ... fix this issue !!!!!

I have finally had confirmation from Adobe that this problem is a bug and that their most senior techies are aware of it and will be producing a fix for it at some point.

I am seeing exactly the same bug in CS4.  It's sad to see that this thread started in CS3 and the bug continues in CS4.  Will it ever be fixed??  Or, am I going to have to keep my version of MX 2004 on hand to put Commands in my websites?

Is Adobe trying to become MS FrontPage and cater to home website builders who want to create static html sites, or will they continue the path that Macromedia was on in letting us create dynamic sites for content management systems which is what the world wants?  Dreamweaver has continued to get worse since Adobe bought Macromedia and then bought InterAKT to kill their extensions.  What's up?  Will the bugs ever be fixed??

By the way, you can't copy and paste recordsets in ASP/VBScript anymore in CS4 either.  You get errors.

This product just keeps getting worse.......does anynoe know how we can best report bugs??  I don't think Adobe spends anytime in these forums.

No, it's definitely not going in the direction of FrontPage. The trend that I perceive is a move away from catering to the non-programmer. There's still a long way to go, but Dreamweaver CS4 is designed much more with the hand-coder in mind. The emphasis in CS4 was very much on JavaScript and CSS.

I have no idea what's planned for CS5, but I would not expect Adobe to put a great deal of effort into classic ASP. Microsoft abandoned ASP nearly ten years ago, and its relevance is likely to continue to dwindle, albeit slowly.

Use the official feature request/bug report form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

I don't think Adobe spends anytime in these forums.

Members of the Dreamweaver development team do drop in from time to time, but this is primarily a user-to-user forum. As it says on the main forums index page: "Forums are. . .  an alternative to Adobe’s official customer support channels. If you require one-on-one assistance or prefer to contact Adobe Customer Care directly, please see our support program options."
