I downloaded the Dreamweaver extension dwmx2004_extensions_for_cfmx7 for my dreamweaver 8. I did this so i would beable to connect to Access's database. I click on the (+) button and scroll down to Microsoft Access connection and click it. Then I enter my information and go to click ok nothing happens. The screen stays up and everything. I see the button depress but thats it. Can you please help me?

Look at the status bar. Are you getting page errors? It sounds as though
the javascript is getting hung up somehow.

I suspect that this is because you're using an extension designed for DW MX
2004 in DW 8. Have you checked to see if there is an updated version?

I also don't understand why you need the extension to connect to Access. You
can create a data source in CF Administrator and point to the Access
database.

I'm trying so hard to use coldfusion 8 and dreamweaver 8 to connect to Access but no matter what I do i get errors. With Coldfusion 8 I log on and I go to "data source" Set up what I need, then when I go to browse server for data files I get a error that says IO error on server communication. My goal is to build a online store. I want to use access to store my data inventory then make temples with dreamweaver to show my inventory to visitors on my site when I get it up. I am lost and don't know what to do. Everthing I try seems to run into dead ends, please help!!!
