Question

database connection

I am trying to set-up a DNS-less (OLEDB) connection using Dreamweaver for an .aspx page. If I 'hard code' it in the page I can get the connection to work so I know the server is OK. However, trying to use the Applications Tab, Databases (on right window of Dreamweaver) will not set up a connection so I can view the tables and fields to build pages using Dreamweaver. I put in the same destination I use in my hard-coded page. I also can't build a DataSet since it can't find the DB tables. I think it is a testing server issue but not sure what to change. My testing server points to the remote site on the server. The actual database is on the remote server but in a different directory than the web pages.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sounds like it is related to a problem introduced with the Window SP2
update. There is a technote and a fix on the Adobe site. Do a search for
"SP2"
