Database options grayed when creating ASP (Javascript) page

I recently installed CS5 Master Suite on a WinXP-32 machine and was able to create ASP pages in Javascript that could connect to and update a Microsoft Access 2003 database.  But since certain apps in the suite required 64-bit OS, I wiped the machine and installed Windows 7 64-bit.

I've managed to get it set up so that I can connect to the database if I create a new ASP page with VBScript, but if I create a new page with Javascript, the ability to add a new connection in the database pane is grayed out, despite all the items listed underneath being checked off.

I assume the DSN is setup correctly since the VBScript pages work.  I've installed IIS7 on the machine with 32-bit application pool enabled so that the server can connect with the 32-bit ODBC driver.

Any hints on how to get database connection working in Javascript pages would be greatly appreciated!

I was under the impression the Adobe dropped support for ASP/Javascript in CS5.  You say that it worked in 32-bit?

It did work under 32-bit WinXP.  But if I open those same pages that were created before changing the OS, the database connection buttons are still grayed out.
