Connection string errors

[Guest]

Hello

I am a complete newcomer to using DW to build web apps and I am trying to get around a few
teething problems. I would be very grateful if any of you can point me
in the right direction because I am tearing my hair out!

I am using DW8 to create a simple database-driven site using IIS and
ASP vbscript. I have created a virtual directory in IIS and I have
created the DSN, connection and appropriate recordsets. The problem is
I keep getting the following error:

Error Type:
Provider (0x80004005)
Unspecified error

The line the error refers to is always the connection string. And it
seems to be intermittent. Sometimes the page works fine, other times I
get this error - but I can't figure out why. I always make sure that I
save my files and put them to the server so I really can't work this
out.

Can anyone help?

TIA.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I am using the local iis server on my xp pro machine.
