Hi

Im using Dream Weaver 8 to create a set of ASP and ASPX websites im editing them locally and testing them locally using IIS Personal Web Server. My problem is how to transfer them on to a remote webserver and make the pages connect to a remote database for asp,aspx as they work fine Locally ?

Does anyone know how to create Dreamweaver connection strings for both ASP and ASP.NET pages for database that has the following directory path on the remote webserver

Domain = asianwedding.somee.com
Database path = /asianwedding.somee.com/customer/DataBase/db1.mdb

Ive been searching on the web and using the Server.map and DNS Less connections but they have failed to work
any help on creating remote database strings using DREAMWEAVER 8 for both ASP and ASP.NET would be greatly apperciated.

What Im trying to do as a test pages is to load up a simple datagrid displaying the records in a table to see if the page can connect to the remote database stored in the folder ......./Database/db1.mdb

Any help would be GREATLY !!!!! Apperciated !!!!

I am new to this as well, but I think you need to transfer the "Connections" folder to the new host w/ your files. I believe this is a hidden file by fault, so you may need to go to the folder options and select "show hidden" and upload to it's new location w/ your other files...

Good luck.
