Dreamweaver as code generator for use in other applications?

Hello and thank you in advance for your time and your help!
I realize and apologize for this lengthy post but I had to explain my issue thoroughly...
I've just begun teaching myself to use Dreamweaver CS3 (on an iMac running OS X 10.5.8 - Leopard) with the "Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual". I don't know HTML or CSS but am very willing to learn as much as I can. In the near future, I hope to create a new website for my domain in Dreamweaver. However, I have an urgent and immediate need and would like to know whether Dreamweaver can serve a specific purpose...
My question is whether I will still be able to accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
I have a domain hosted by GoDaddy and a rather old website that I created using FrontPage 2002 (on a Windows XP desktop). For over 5 years now, I've used FrontPage so that I can work WYSIWYG to generate HTML code that I use in my eBay auction listings. Recently, however, the "network folder" for my web server (on the Windows XP desktop) stopped accepting my password and I cannot find a fix for it. It's my opportunity to finally break from FrontPage but I'm hoping that, before I do, someone can tell me whether or not Dreamweaver can serve my interim and long-term purposes.
I've been uploading image files using the "network folder" in Windows XP that I set up with FrontPage over 5 years ago. I "drag and drop" or "cut and paste" image files from my computer to my web server in Windows Explorer via the "network folder". Once the images are on the web server, I open FrontPage and ensure that the images show up in my web server files. I then open an existing .html document that I have saved on my hard drive, replace text and images within the file, save the file under a different file name, and then switch to code view where I copy the code directly from FrontPage into my eBay listing. This works perfectly well and has for over 5 years. I do not publish these .html files to the web, nor do I upload the .html files to my web server. They exist only on my hard drive and simply to provide the underlying HTML code for the eBay listings and nothing more. This method allows the images in my eBay auctions to be automatically sourced to their location on my web server without requiring me to do anything more than insert the image(s) from my web server into the .html document/file.
I think I'm discovering that Dreamweaver works specifically with websites and I'm wondering whether I can use it more generically in this way. If I'm learning correctly, Dreamweaver is quite particular about web server files having an exact match to a root folder on my hard drive. I've defined my site within Dreamweaver and I've since downloaded all existing files from my web server to my hard drive within a folder that is designated as the root folder. However, when I now open an existing .html document (one originally created in FrontPage and stored on my hard drive only) and replace an image (by cutting the existing image and dragging the other from the "remote view" of the "files" pane) with one that exists both on my web server and in my root folder, Dreamweaver makes the source/reference path point to the image file on my hard drive and, as you know, that won't do if I transfer that code to my eBay listing. So I've uploaded the actual .html file to the web server within Dreamweaver (something that I never had to do with FrontPage) and now I can change the HTML code manually (or the source in the "properties" panel for the image) for the image source to include "http://mydomain/..." (it doesn't include that automatically as FrontPage did). That now seems to make the code work but I have to store my .html files on the server and I have to make that manual change.
My question is whether I will still be able to do accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
Thank you very sincerely for taking the time to read this and for your response and good advice!

Get Turbo Lister (a free page editing and listing tool from eBay).
http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/
eBay uses some seriously flawed markup on their auction pages. In fact, they don't even ALLOW you to use good code. You're better off using their proprietary tools for this. IMO, DW is not the right tool for creating eBay pages.
When you're ready to build a serious web site, come back to Dreamweaver.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

Contact AT&T and ask about paying the early termination fee. You'll also need them to unlock it.
In any case, you need to contact AT&T as they have the final say.

[Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application

Hi
I installed Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8, and am trying to connect to my Oracle database using the attached tutorial code.
The code compiles fine, but I get the following error whenever I run the file: [Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded application
I don't understand what is happening.
Using the Runtime navigation panel on the upper left of the IDE screen, I can right-click and connect to the database, and navigate database files, using the Oracle JDBC Driver that came with JSE8.
Name: Oracle Driver
Driver: com.sun.sql.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
Database URL: jdbc:sun:oracle://JAZZPUP:1521;SID=REPO
If the driver is installed, and can be used to connect to a database by right-clicking on the database definition in the Runtime panel, why can't I connect to it just using java code in the IDE. I would expect both methods to work or to fail, not one of each using the same IDE.
Many thanks and take care,
Shayne

http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=51057&messageID=188210
To summarize - the DataDirectDriver that is shipped with the IDE seems to be locked to be used inside the IDE only because of some licensing issues etc..
That's weird, I agree. I will raise a question on reasons for such a behavior.
The solution would be to use Oracle's own driver, that is distributed at no charge from their web site - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

Web Cam being used by other application

I have a web cam that says is being used by other application when I try to Skype. I look at System Profiler and it says under hardware I have a SiGma Micro.
Why does occasionally comes on but is very dark and cloudy. How do I check USB to see if this is really the camera that is connected. The web Cam is self has not logo or company markings. I tried unplugging and switching ports with keyboard and mouse does nothing. What can I do?

Vel,
As the error say, another application could be holding on to the webcam. What application are you using for your video chat? Check your task manager processes and see if there's any applications that could also be using the webcam feature like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc...and end their task if you're not using them.

This driver is locked for use with embedded applications - SQL Server

Hello guys,
Background:
I developed an application using JSC2 with MS SQL Server 2000 as the database and Sun Application Server PE 8 as App Server. During development, I am able to deploy and test it. But as soon as I've installed Sun Application Server PE 8 on our Production Server, exported my app there and tried to execute it, I get the error
"This driver is locked for use with embedded applications".
I just wanna ask, though I've seen other threads saying that the only solution is to buy the EE or SE of Sun App Server, isn't there really any work-around with this?
Thanks very much for your help.

OK, that is the same setup we have (Creator built application running with MS SQL Server).
I wrote a tutorial talking about integrating Creator with Spring. In it you will find out how to use SQL Server with a Creator built app running on the Platform Edition. That tutorial can be found here: http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=52657&tstart=15
In short, look to jTds.
Hope this helps.

JDBC Error: This driver is locked for use with embedded applications

Hi Experts,
My sender adapter is throwing the below error:
Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:nwmss:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;databaseName=<dbname>' using the JDBC driver 'com.sap.nwmss.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver': 'java.sql.SQLException: [NWMss][SQLServer JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded applications.'
What could be the problem? How can I resolve it?

download the latest version of SQL driver from MS site and re deploy it on PI

Using Final Cut Pro, can we create a subtitle which can be used in other applications?

Can a subtitle file be created using FCP and later use in other application?

You can create a title and export it as a video file to be used in any editing app but you won't be able to alter the words or layout once it has been exported.
Export as ProRes 4444 if the title has alpha channel otherwise you'll lose the transparency.

My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

Code generated for totals

Is there a way to see the code that is generated for totals on a report?
Thanks,

If you mean the code that is used to calculate the totals that appear on a Discoverer report, then no, unfortunately you cann't.

Code sample for using change document function modules

Can someone send me some sample code for using function modules CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADER and CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS? I'm specifically looking for changes that occured to the standard price field in the material master (MBEW-STPRS) and I need to pull the most recent price change for a given material. I'm not sure how to write the code efficiently since I don't have a date to pass (again, since we're looking for the most recent change.)
Thanks!

hi check this..
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS
Example:
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS'
EXPORTING
objectclass = 'EINKBELEG'
objectid = l_objectid
username = space
TABLES
i_cdhdr = lt_cdhdr.
LOOP AT lt_cdhdr WHERE udate IN s_aedat.
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS'
EXPORTING
changenumber = lt_cdhdr-changenr
TABLES
editpos = lt_editpos.
LOOP AT lt_editpos WHERE fname = 'LOEKZ'
AND f_new = 'L'.
p_desc = text-r01. " Cancel Contract
ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS
Example:
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS'
EXPORTING
objectclass = 'EINKBELEG'
objectid = l_objectid
username = space
TABLES
i_cdhdr = lt_cdhdr.
LOOP AT lt_cdhdr WHERE udate IN s_aedat.
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS'
EXPORTING
changenumber = lt_cdhdr-changenr
TABLES
editpos = lt_editpos.
LOOP AT lt_editpos WHERE fname = 'LOEKZ'
AND f_new = 'L'.
p_desc = text-r01. " Cancel Contract
ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.

Layer Styles Not Saving for Use on Other Computers

I've been trying over and over for the last 6 hours to get the layer styles I save in my custom pallet to work on other computers. I mean, I have a bunch of pallets from other sources and somehow they achieved a way of being able to save theirs, now why can't I do it on mine?
So, here's the story of what I've done. I have a Text layer, I've added a list of FX to it via the Layer Styles menu. Now I save the document. I open up a new document and copy/paste the FX onto a new Text layer in another document window. It works great.
Then, I save the layer styles for use later, but no. When I do everything exactly the same way, my Layer Style that I saved has lost all it coordinates of shadows and stroke widths, bevels, you name it, it's screwed up. Now I've tried this so far on CS4 and CS5, 3 different computers. All 3 computers have different settings for how Photoshop is set up, so I know it's NOT my settings alone. Though, it keeps the colors and custom gradients how they are, everything is bonkers.
I'm ready to stop trusting in Photoshop to be there for me when I need it...or punch a hole in the wall. Whichever comes first.
I need help for this as soon as possible, for I have an assignment I need this for.
Running: Windows 7 64
Adobe Photoshop CS4 & CS5.

Seems to me you left out the most critical piece of information, that is, HOW did you save the layer style for later use ?
You might read this tutorial to see if you did it correctly.

Isight used by other application

Hi!
I have a problem with my isight which happened from one day to an other. The camera is recognized by the system I already checked in the System Profiler, however I still cant use it with any of the applications since it keeps telling me that it is in use by an other application.
Any ideas?I've tried everything I could think of and what I read about here and there.
Thanks!

Welcome to Discussions, DaniellaG
First check to be sure you do not have any forgotten or unknown login items or widgets that are using your iSight.
Then, if the problem remains, and if you have tried everything (except contacting Apple for service) in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 without success, and if you get no better help suggestions from other iNtel Mac users, ...
(0) Disconnect everything but your internet connection and restart your MacBook.
(1) Repair Permissions
(2) download http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__Intel
(3) install the 10.4.11 Combo Update
(4) After the restart that completes the install, immediately Repair Permissions again.
(5) Check whether your application software (more than one application if possible) now properly uses iSight.
(6) If it works now, reconnect any peripherals you disconnected, and check again.
(7) If nothing else works, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
