No tables in database

Hi,
I want to connect to a Ms Access database.
I use dreamweaver 8.
It seems I have succesfully set de testing server, although I have my doubts.
My Site's URL in dreamweaver (Local Info) is my URL used to visit the site with a browser ( http://www.portugalimo.com, but if you decide to take a look, it's the old site)
My testing server prefix is http://localhost/
Anytime I add more information, like http://localhost/wwwroot, the setup at Bindings fails.
So from the four points I have three:
- Site (directory)
- Document type (ASP javascript)
- Testing Server (/see above)
but if I want to connect to a query I get lost.
I have a database selcted as DNS, but when I select it I get an error msg: Unable to retrieve tables from this connection, click Define to....

I have tried about everything, but without succes.
My database contains several tables and queries, but why can't I get them?

Hope somebody can help me out with this.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Again,
Already found the problem, had to choose for "Microsoft Acces Driver" instead of "Driver to Microsoft Access", a bit confusing.
Now I will try to retrieve data from the database, wish me luck!

Regards,
Eric
