Databases Panel Error

Question

I have setup a datasource in coldfusion 7, which works fine.
When I try to use the Databases Panel and Bindings panel in
Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver displays the full filepath to the
database file instead of the names of the tables.
Example:
My database file is located in - C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\myDB.mdb
It is named myDB
The database file contains one table - User
Now in the Databases Panel, I can see the datasource, but
when I expand the Tables list, I see
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myDB.User
instead of simply
User
I can click open the table and see the fields within
correctly, but I can't create a recordset correctly unless I
manually replace FROM C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\myDB.User to FROM User.
I can't figure out what the problem is... does it has
anything to do with the fact that the Coldfusion Server is not
located in the same machine? I do have RDS enabled though.
Thanks for any input!!!!

Vista is not a supported platform for ColdFusion 7.

This looks like Vista permissions problems. By default, user
accounts
don't seem to have permission to write to c:\inetpub\wwwroot
on Vista.
I haven't (yet) figured out how to change that (I'm very new
to Vista
myself) so I simply run programs as administrator to write to
that
directory. Instead of just clicking on DW to start it,
right-click and
Run As Administrator... Then it should be able to write to
wwwroot.
Worked for my for Notepad :)
I'm *not* recommending this from a security point of view.
Much better
to figure out how to change the permissions on the wwwroot
directory
so you don't need administrator access!

Well, you bought Vista... Like I say, I'm new to Vista as
well and
whilst I dislike it less than I disliked XP, I find it more
frustrating in terms of security. That's why I normally use a
Mac :)
