I am working on Windows Vista and Dreamweaver 8. I have Vista business and am trying to build a dynamic website using asp and vbscript along with having database access through MS Access. The problem is once I get everything set up, a connection to the database, the asp file opened on the design view, I want to view it in Live Data mode. Once I hit the Live Data Button I get a message saying " An error occured while requesting the document from the testing server ". I am trying to get it set up on a local testing server. Also when I open up an asp page without any database data on it, it opens fine on the testing server, but when I add any bit of database queries to the page it give me an error page as well. Please help, I have been getting so frustrated with this and any help you could give would be appreciated.

I'm interested too. I had that same message every time I tried to use live data when I was using ColdFusion. Exact same symptoms, except I could develop, preview (in browser), & use all the functions I was putting in, but Live Data spit that message back at me every time I tried to use it.

Do you have IIS installed and ASP enabled?

Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off

Internet Information Services should be checked. Then click the + sign next to it to expand it.

World Wide Web Services should be checked. Then click the + sign next to it to expand it.

Application Development services should be checked. Then click the + sign next to it to expand it.

ASP should be checked.

Yeah, I have all of those applications selected. Asp is checked, asp.net is checked. I have no idea what could be making this happen.....I am really stumped.
