CS3 VISTA ASP SQL

I have been running CS3 DW on an XP machine for quite a while
with no problems using ASP and connecting to an SQL DB. Last week
my machine crashed and burned so I decided to upgrade whilst
getting it together again. Now I have set up the same scenario
except instead of XP I have Vista. I loaded up my backups and
everything seemed great - the Manage site section connected, the
sign in sign out was perfect - but then I got to testing the
database connection string (which is identical to that on the XP
version) and I got an error that says "Microsft ODBC Driver Manager
Data source name not found and no default driver specified". Any
ideas? I gather I haven't set something up but what? Any help
gratefully received

I assume by 'SQL DB' you are referring to MS SQL Server,
correct? Did you install the SQL Server middleware and ODBC
drivers? Did you create the ODBC data source? If yes to these, did
you test the datasource connection via the ODBC manager?

Problems with Access, Vista, ASP

Hello, I'm using DW CS3 and ASP classic on a machine with
Vista Ultimate and having problems connecting to the MS Access
Database via the testing server. When I try to add the database
connection and create a DSN through the dialog box, I hit "Test"
and get the following message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Disk or network
error.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr
failed
I suspect it is a permissions-based problem but have been
unable to isolate it. The database is in the directory,
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Database. So far at the folder level I
have tried:
- verifying full control permission for the Administrators
group
- giving full control permission to the IUSR_ComputerName
account
I also verified the access database itself has no permission
restrictions.
Incidentally I am new to CS3 and working through the book,
"Adobe DW CS3 with ASP, ColdFusion and PHP Training from the
Source", specifically the example in Chapter 7 using the newland
database. I am somewhat familiar with dynamic web development
(veteran of GoLive 6) but am not up to speed on developing under
Windows Vista. BTW I have turned User Account Control off in
Vista.

IIS7 on Vista uses a different temp directory. Give 'modify'
permission to
IUSR for this folder:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

ASP/SQL - Excel Question

Hi
Ive got an ASP file calling a database using SQL. Once you
hit the "go" button, it puts this data into an Excel file, under a
new window (still showing the asp file in the address bar).
Item numbers that end in "0" i.e. 3.10, 12.20 appear as 3.1
and 12.2 respectively in the Bill of Materials … i.e. being
treated as decimals … I need them to show-up as text.
Any takers?
I will post some of the code if requested - but I may need a
little guidance in what is required.
I'm trying to learn ASP/SQL the hard way: from the deep end!!
thanks

You're correct, Rob. Excel will interpret the data regardless
of what it
looks like in the source.
You can try placing an apostrophe in front of the number.
This supposedly
tells Excel to treat it as text. I've had no luck with that
approach,
though.
The proper way is to use the style mso-number-format on the
cells you want
formatted.
Example:
td.number {
mso-number-format:#.00;
You can use any valid format code (see your Excel F1 help on
custom number
formats) as the rule's value. The above format should be the
one the OP is
looking for, though.

Help with Test Server & Binding Recordset ASP-SQL

Using CS 3.3/DW. Behavior is the same on two different
machines. One is Vista Home Premium SP1 IIS 7 with 6 compatability,
other is XP SP 3 IIS 5.1, both have IE 7 and full SQL 2005 with
SP's.
Haven't gotten very far away from static page yet, because I
can't test. Have scoured forums and even talked to Adobe who
recreated the problem then told me that they hadn't done sufficient
testing to SQL 2005 prior to release, were supposed to call me
back, did once, supposed to call back again and haven't (3 days).
So I'm turning to the community for help, please.
Set up test server in folder 'TServer' under
C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Built a 'Hello World' ASP/VB Script page with
no data attached, tests fine, puts in the appropriate folder and
says "Hello World" in browser like a good little box should! Have
built many DSN's, they tested during the building fine, I've tried
various versions of ODBC and OLE DB, including but not limited to
Native SQL Client, which is my preference and have been quite
successful setting up the DSN's...they add to the ASP page/Site
(it's greyed out unless you have an open ASP page) fine. Test at
that point works fine. As soon as I bind a Recordset (whether I
have dropped data on the page or not...same 'Hello World' page with
Recordset info near the top of the code) and test, I error out.
Any thoughts? I'm sure you'll need more info...I've tried to
put as much as I can for starters. Thanks in advance.
Peter

When you say that you error out, what error are you getting?

Adobe DW CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP Training book - problem.

Hi
I have been creating a site and using the DW CS3 'Training
from the Source' book by Jeffrey Bardzell and Bob Flynn as the
tutorial text.
Basically - I have an .asp form that collects data into
fields, which are validated using the DW validate form funstions,
then passes the data to another .asp page that emails the data to
me.
All works well for me and for a lot of people I have used to
test the site....
BUT
I am getting some people whose data is obviously NOT being
captured or passed - as teh Emails are blank. I can't ask them what
browsers they are using - as their Email address should be in the
Data !!
I did try the form with the Javascript Disabled in my browser
- and the validation then failed to work - but the data still did
get sent.
1. If Javascript is disabled - how can I get the validation
to work?
2. Is there any other reason that my data may be getting lost
Thanks in Advance
Phil

PhilAJ,
quote:
Surely if DW is creating this then it should aways work ?
It would be nice, wouldn't it? ;-)
There are two basic types of validation - client-side and
server-side.
Client-side validation uses JavaScript, in this case the code
that DW generates, but you are dependent on the user's browser
settings. It happens on the user's machine before anything is sent
back across the Internet to your web server. If they want to turn
off JS, they can.
Server-side validation takes place on the server with the
data sent from the user. webpro2k has provided you with a nice bit
of code to test whether those fields come in blank. If they do, you
can decide what to do with the user's interaction. Instead of the
Thank You page, or wherever you may have sent them after a
successful submission, you could send them back to the form
indicating the fields they neglected to fill out and pre-populating
those they already filled out with the data from the first
submission.
Best practice is to do both client-side (in theory it reduces
user frustration if done right.) and server side (to ensure clean
data). It takes a little extra work. You know your audience and
your needs, so you can do the cost/benefit analysis.

Bob

Error with insert using ASP, SQL and ValidationTool Kit

The page loads fine, but when i attempt to submit the page to

Seems Adobe has a bit of a mistake there in the insert

This line appears just below the query (you'll see VALUES
with a lot of
question marks):
MM_editCmd.Prepared = true
Change it to
MM_editCmd.Prepared = false
That will fix you up.

Adobe Flash CS3 Vista Crash Help!

I have a Windows vista and have flash cs3 installed. For the
first 2 weeks or so, it worked perfectly, then, it started crashing
whenever I open the application or a .fla file.

Can anyone help me fix this????

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am having the
same issues on Windows Vista Ultimate. I have been running Flash
CS3 fine for 8 months and now this, middle of a work day, on a
Friday when several things are due and I cannot get it to open.
ADOBE, this cannot be a problem isolated to just 2 people, what is
the solution please?

CS3, Vista, Missing Duotones Presets

Hi,
I am using CS3 and Vista. I am trying to use the presets for duotones.
I go Image | Mode | Duotone | Load...and get nothing. The Duotones folder is empty. A quick search of the internet suggests that the files have been moved. So I searched my pc for *.ado and got nothing. No files.
Any advice?
Best regards,
Kevin

Kevin, I just loaded CS3 on my computer running Windows XP, and had the same problem. PS 'looked' but couldn't 'see' the presets loaded in the folder, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Duotones. (I checked and confirmed that the .ado duotone presets files are there.)
To fix this, from the duotone menu, I went to Load, then backed all the way out of the folders, to My Computer, then when back in to the above folder, and wow, PS saw that the duotone presets are there. I closed the file, opened another and converted to Duotone, and PS is still seeing that presets.
In other words, the Duotone preset folder is not empty, you just have to coax PS in to seeing the preset files.
Best, David

CS3 / Vista / local files on NAS - DW crawls and is unuseable

Subject pretty much says it all.
DW CS3 on a Vista laptop. My development cfm files are on a NAS mapped as Y:\Sites\[sitename]. I primarily use this laptop for quick fixes but that came screeching to a halt today.
I opened up a site and told it to sync via ftp to the remote server. After about 4 minutes it told me there were 10 small files to sync. Syncing took almost 10 minutes. (no, it was not the remote server being slow).
When I opened a file locally from the Y drive to edit it, it was extremely slow in code view. Copy / Paste took 30 seconds to complete. Even scrolling the page up and down in DW had severe delays.
I did a bunch of Google searching on it and found many people with this problem back to the CS version, but no real answer to it. The NAS drive is fine and even Windows Explorer is quick bringing it up and moving files around. This isn't a huge site - maybe 100 cfm templates and none of the pages are hugely complex.
No other software on this laptop has any problems accessing the NAS - MySQL, PS, Office etc.
Any ideas where to look for a patch or setting that can help this behavior?

I've never used a NAS, but can you use a UNC path? If so, any difference in performance?
I have two Vista boxes on this little network and they both take a long time to connect to drives on other computers. Once connected, they transfer files over the local network at expected speeds, though. I don't use DW's FTP, but I could test that later if needed (CS3 on Vista Home Premium, DW8 on Vista Ultimate).

Photoshop (CS3 - Vista Ultimate) layer effects issues

I am running a Vista PC with 4GB RAM and other complimentarily high spec hardware.
I am having trouble when adding 'stroke' effects to layers. At times I end up with horrendous colour-of-the-stoke spots/patches all over my layer. I have boild the issue down to the following reason: there are small one-pixelish or larger 'holes' in the layer and therefore the stroke is placed around these 'holes'. If the stroke is placed 'inside' then the spots/patches will appear but when the stroke is placed on the 'outside' then the spots/patches do not appear.
This issue happens pretty much all the time when stretching and distorting and warping a layer or (in particular) when adding, for example, white space to a layer and then popping a stroke onto it.
I do not seem to remember it happening in the past - since a year past (mid-2007) - but seems to be happening to an increasing degree recently. I never noticed it happening before using CS3.

Yes, the connection string is not dependant upon the software
used to create
the website. Here's a couple of examples, or you can find

Open/Save Dialoge Box covers the whole screen - CS3/Vista

Hi,
I´m using Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista and I have the following problem:
I can´t reduce the open/save dialoge box in Photoshop CS3 as I could in earlier versions, which I find very inconvenient.
It stretches over the whole screen and there seems to be no way of reducing it. There are handles at the corners but they don´t work.
Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
I hope somebody can help me on this, thank you so much!
Best regards,
Mike

Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
No, it's not normal. There are two things I can think of:
- the dialog repositioning feature of your graphics card is not working properly (NVidia Desktop etc.)
- you resized the dialog in another program and now the huge size has become the system default
In both cases the solution should be pretty obvious - either adjust the settings/ turn off the graphics card's special features or resize the dialog back in the program it was turned huge in the fi8rst place. For the latter, also checking your more general folder view options as well as manually deleting desktop.ini files may offer a way out.

Dreamweaver Cs3 & Vista

I buyed a copy of Dreamweaver cs3 with OS Vista, but when I
try to load the program, since the first time I tried, it remains
on "Inizializiong Files", until I stop the process. What can I
do?

Maybe someone else can help you out with this because you are
going to need to do the following steps and I just don't know where
the log file is saved on the Windows side:
1. Get the log file that the installer makes
2. Come back to this website and click on Your Account at the
top of the screen.
3. Log in and click on Customer Support Portal
4. Open up a support ticket. When you do there should be a
way to upload a file to their FTP server for them to evaluate.
Follow their steps exactly and upload your log file (it would be a
good idea to rename your log file with at least your username).
Then once you have done that wait for a response. They will
be able to tell you exactly where the installer is failing by
looking at the logs. It normally takes about 1-3 business days for
them to respond though. It might not be as quick as a phone call,
but if they don't know where the problem is, it is best to give
them as much information as possible.
