I was wondering if thier is a problem with Dreamweaver 8.
Half the time when I do an update record on DW is give me a Invalid
string error. Then I will delete the Update record and go to
Dreamweaver MX and do the same thing and it works fine. Does anyone
know what the problem is that gives a string error with Dreamweaver
8? Has anyone else experenice this problem?

Are you using dynamic sql in those updates? 8.0.2 put a stop to that.

Dreamweaver 8.02 changed the way Recordsets were created, as they were
previously very insecure, and would allow SQL injection, which would
allow hackers complete access to your server. You may think I am joking,
but I had my server compromised several years ago, and it was no
laughing matter.
If you upgrade to 8.02 and use recordsets, you need to recreated every
single one, and re-apply all server behaviours. Its easier to remove the
code and start again, but its much better to do it now, before your
server is compromised, as its gets much more stressful trying to do it
once it has.
