How do i add recordsets to a .dwt.asp-generated page

[russelli]

help - i am at wits end.....

below is code for a page (test3.asp) based on a template called "catalogue.dwt.asp". i need various recordsets on various pages based on this template. f i try to add a recordset to test3.asp, i'm told "making this change would involve changing cose that is locked by a template or translator" - so i cant add the recordsets (tho interestingly you can see that i did manage to somehow add two recordsets at the outset before it started saying this.

if i try to add the recordsets to the template (which is not the way i want to do it anyway), i'm told i've added code outside the html tag and wont be copied unless i add <!--TemplateInfoOutsideHTMLIsLocked-->

i have bvuilt plenty of other sites where i DONT have this issue so DW/me must be coding something different sometimes - bottom line is - how do i get to having a .dwt.asp temaplte which i can build other pages from, and then add relevant recordsets to.

i would be DEARLY GRATEFUL for anyone who can help me put this perennial problem to bed.

thanks in advance:

It's a bug. Close and re-open DW and your templated page will accept the RS
without squawking.

Funny, I have never seen anyone report this. And I've worked with DW and
recordsets in template child pages for a mightly long time, and never
experienced it. On the other hand, it's always a good idea to restart your
system when things like this happen. You never know what could be
interfering.

[Newsgroup_User]

No. I simply cannot reproduce this problem. I recommend you contact Adobe
directly and use one of your one-on-one support incidents.

Murray, you must be blessed... I run into it at least once a week. I pulled
my hair out for a long time trying to figure out what caused it, now I just
just curse one time, then restart.
