Dreamweaver CS5 and Access Database

I have set up a connection from DW to an Access database and I have found a problem returning a record to a new ASP page from an ASP page with a Log In User server behaviour. I get the following error message:
ADODB.Field
error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
/Access Database Work/2 Homepage.asp, line 34
The expected result is that the user logs on correctly and the second page is displayed with their details. My recordset on the second page has a filter that needs to equal one of the inputs from a form element on the inital page. This all works perfectly when not using the Log In User server behaviour and I just create my own form.
I have tried adapting code and setting values to variables to pull through (I have a basic understanding of code), but I am a real beginner with ASP and not sure of syntax etc. and just keeping creating more errors.
Any sugggestions would be really appreciated.

Here is the code for the Log In User server behaviour page:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>

How does one add a photo gallery to my web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the link recognized as a destination file?

How does on add a photo gallery to a web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the file folder which contains the photos, recognized as the "go to location" for the link up?

Ok. So Photos1.htm is the main gallery page.
And it looks like you have sub-folders with images in them like these from 2011 and 2010

Dreamweaver CS5 and xampp problem

Hi folks,
i had cs5 trial installed on my last laptop
running vista 32bit
with xampp, i could edit wordpress files
no problem,
but i just got a new laptop
now running windows 7 64bit,
i installed cs5 trial fine and xampp.
I just went to edit wordpress files for the first time
and when i go to index.php as soon as i go to
'discover' i get dreamweaver 'not responding'
and it doesn't respond.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks for the reply,
there was an update for dreamweaver yesterday which fixed my problem,
i don't know why because the update was for browserlab and dreamweaver compatibility or something like that,
but it fixed my problem and now the files load instead of the program (not responding)
so now i'm happy lol.

Unfortunately I can't help you. But if it's any consolation, you are not alone. I am suffering from same symptom except it happens with any dynamic site I need to work on. And it doesn't matter whether the sites are local or remote.
I am running Windows 7 64bit as well in both of my machines, desktop (AMD) and laptop (Intel), and this happens on both of them and with any dynamic site, Joomla! for instance.

Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress

I have been banging my head against a wall for quite a few days now, and desperately need some help.
I have been creating a theme in WordPress using Dreamweaver CS5 and MAMP. All is going fine when suddenly my theme disappears in DW. I can still see the page from WordPess admin, but there are no dynamic links and no content within Dreamweaver.
Any help would be great!

Uk date format issue with ASP and Access Database

I have an Asp form which updates records in an Access
database. Problem is
that the date format in the database record is dd/mm/yyyy
(UK), when
the record is displayed on the form it is mm/dd/yyyy(US)
which after I
update the record in the database the date has changed to the
new format.
I have tried everything I can to change the format but to no
avail...anyone any ideas how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Its not Dreamweaver, or Access, its your servers locale, its
set to US
format, not the UK.
On your page at the top use:
<% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
This will force the page into using UK formatted dates. Use
it on any
page that needs to format the page correctly.

Java and Access database

Hello,
I have an application with an access database. The access database (the access file) is in the same directory as all java files in c:\programs\eclipse\workspace\javaBooks.
The connection method looks as follows:
public boolean getConnection(String url,String user, String passw)
try
     Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passw);
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();
     System.out.println("Connected to " + dbmd.getURL());
     System.out.println("Version " + dbmd.getDriverVersion());
     System.out.println("DBMS: " + dbmd.getDatabaseProductName());
     return true;
     //System.out.println("AutoCommit: " + con.getAutoCommit());
     //rs=dbmd.getTables(null,"%","%",null); // Driver is not capable!
     catch (java.sql.SQLException e)
          System.err.println("Can't connect to database");
          System.err.println(e.getMessage());
          return false;
     catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
          System.err.println("Can't connect to database");
          System.err.println(e.getMessage());
          return false;
At the beginning when I start the application a form is displayed where I have to indicate an url and a password.
Does anybody know how I have to configure the corresponding things to use the database with the application?

You access (ahem) Access through the JdbcOdbcDriver,
which comes with Java.Not bad, not bad.

Crystal Reports and Access database connection error

I had this in a different forum with no hits, so I am trying this one.
A person that I work with has multiple reports set up that pulls from an Access database that is password protected. When we moved everything over to a new computer, those reports now say that it cannot access the fields inside the database. It never pops up with a login screen either, like it does on the old computer. I played around with the ODBC, with no luck, couldn't get anything to work. I have also tryed relinking the database, but I keep getting connection problems. We are on a network, so her settings should have all moved with the new computer. Along with the database and the reports being on the server, so they were never moved. I am thinking it has something to do with a system file.
I also found this document on this site, but cannot find the download it mentions, sounds similar to my problem.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/208b8fe5-681e-2b10-d2bb-b201f266d0ab
Does anybody know how to fix this without the utility mentioned in the above link, or know where I can get the utility??
We are using Access 2007 and Crystal Reports 7. The database is not save as an Access 2007 database, but a regular mdb.
Please Help!

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello Chris,
Crystal Reports does not store the database password with the RPT file. This is by design (Crystal is not a database security product). This is true of all versions of Crystal Reports.
If your users need to see fresh data when opening the reports then they will have to log in by providing at least the password.
You can send reports with Saved Data that won't try to hit the database, but the data won't refresh either. To save data with the report go to the File menu and click next to Save Data with Report. Refresh the report and then save it. The report will now have saved data and won't try to hit the database when opened. If the user hits the refresh button then they will get prompted to log into the database.
I hope this helps.

Flex 2 and Access Database

I want to know if flex is able to access an access database
either via coldfusion or flash remoting?

1) I don't know much about flash remoting, but sure flex
application would be able to access any coldfusion app. and it
won't matter what db CF app is fronting.
2) if i understand your question correctly, you're talking
about the webserver? if that's the case all you need to have on the
server is the SWF file.

Dreamweaver cs5 and PayPal Buttons

Greetings,
My website was created with Dreamweaver cs5. Customers who want to purchase a product from my website simply press the "Add to Cart" button and this takes them to the PayPal checkout.
Here is the problem. If you click on ANY of the add to cart buttons for a particular product, the PayPal add to cart button adds a totally different, random product from my website into the cart. I have had problems with the add to cart buttons before. However, PayPal insisted that this kind of problem might be caused by Dreamweaver.
Every time I need a new "add to cart" button, I create it in PayPal. PayPal generates a code that I then copy and paste into dreamweaver. A customer service representative for PayPal said that the problem might be arising because of a copy and paste issue. He said that dreamweaver sometimes changes things you paste into your code.
Is this true?
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Laila

I, too, have been experiencing similar problems. On PayPal support call earlier in day, I was advised to go to prefs/Code Rewriting/ and uncheck the "Rename form items when pasting" checkbox.
On doing so, I was able to test my problem page, http://www.screamingeagles.com/pages_02/invoiceMail.html and it worked in Safari, Opera, FireFox on two Macs, and Internet Explorer 8 on PC.
Closed all sessions, feeling pretty good about the fix, but on restarting about four hours later, Same Same...well, almost the same. At this point, the first item on the dropdown failed, while the next three, item 2, 3, and 4 choices and prices, worked. They appeared on payment page and reflected the correct prices, but just would not add the first item to the cart.
This prompted another call to PayPal support, and tech advised the same. On responding that I had already done that multiple times, he advised I contact DreamWeaver (Adobe) support as it was out of their scope of responsibility.
PayPal support tech also regenerated my code, pasted it in his text editor, and it worked exactly as I had saved in my "Saved Buttons". So, that again supports that it's a DreamWeaver problem/bug/flaw...insert language as needed.
I can't see any difference in the code itself (although I'm not an expert) so that led me to this post. The only other items within the Rewrite Code prefs that "might" influence it (in my prefs) is that I have checked:
Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags
Remove extra closing tags
Warn when fixing or removing tags
Never rewrite code:
Special characters:
Encode special characters in URLs using %
Unchecked items:
Rename form items when pasting
URL encoding
On my request, support tech also agreed that this should be escalated at his end to contact Adobe, as we agreed that it was unlikely that I would be the only person running into this problem.
Looking forward to any response,
Thanks,
Joe Satterwhite

I regenerated the code for the payment button and pasted into Simple Text. The code had the <option value=(1) etc etc lines (on /invoiceMail.html that corresponded to lines 145, 146, 147, 148) indented. I then went into Dreamweaver CS5 code, pasted, and no indent visible.
I manually indented each line four characters in, published, and that change seems to have worked.
Can't say with certainty, but one of those actions worked. (Keeping in mind I had already recreated the PayPal code a few times.)
Hope that helps somebody.

Dreamweaver cs5 and Jquery

Hi. I was looking for "Flash Elements" on Dreamweaver cs5, so that I can use the Image Viewer to put pictures on my wesbite.
There was no "Flash Elements" option in the Insert tab. I did some research and apparently I needed a jquery code. I found a free code on a website and I downloaded it and it is saved on my computer.
I don't know what I am supposed to do with this code, or how I am supposed to implement it into dreamweaver so that the Flash Elements option appears in my Insert tab.After the file downloaded, I got a notification message on dreamweaver that said something like "jquery.tn3lite.min is a view only file. what would you like to do with it?" The options were View, Make writeable, and Close. I clicked View and I am not sure how to proceed from there. The document that opened in code view contains a ton of content in it.
Please tell me the steps I need to take from here to get the Flash Elements - Image viewer in the Insert tab.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Laila

Seems to be some confusion here.
Please tell me the steps I need to take from here to get the Flash Elements - Image viewer in the Insert tab.
There are none.
Adobe dropped the Flash Image Viewer from Dreamweaver starting in CS4. It won't be back. There are much better ways of achieving slideshows these days.
There was no "Flash Elements" option in the Insert tab. I did some research and apparently I needed a jquery code. I found a free code on a website and I downloaded it and it is saved on my computer.
I don't know what I am supposed to do with this code, or how I am supposed to implement it
jQuery has nothing to do with Flash Elements - Image Viewer.
jQuery is one good way to get a slideshow working on your webpage but understand what it is before you try to use it.

ImageIcon and Access Database

Hello,
Does anyone know how to store ImageIcon from the interface into Access Database and retrieve ImageIcon from Access Database to the interface?
Thanks,
Daniel

Well, this page has some examples for storing and retrieving images as BLOBs from databases:
http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Database/JDBC20Intro/exercises.html
As for getting the image, you wouldn't generally store the raw image, but would save it as a JPEG or other format. If you search this forum for "save JPEG", I'm sure you'll find many posts on the topic.

Dreamweaver CS5 and/or CF Builder

I am trying to figure out what development software would be the most useful. I have been using Dreamweaver to write ColdFusion for years but I have been asked by a new client for advice on what software to purchase. I haven't used CS5 or ColdFusion Builder so please pardon any ignorant questions. We need to be able to design website content as well as write code. I am not sure if it would make more sense to purchase CS5 and Builder or just CS5. The person on the phone at Adobe said that if I purchased CS5 there would be no need to purchase Builder but I thought I would ask here to see what the developer opnion was. I plan on downloading and evaluating them my self but I am still curious to here your opinions.
Thanks,
David

I find it a bit strange too that they would not include CF Builder as part of a "WEB Premium" package - afterall CFBuilder is used for building Web Sites/Apps. Also having a tool like that as part of the Web Premium would help promote Coldfusion in same ways. Adobe should at least perhaps offer a CFBuilder upgrade version pricing if you own CS5 web premium - I mean Flash Builder is already included in CS5 (which is part of the CFBuilder bundle).
Anyway, I mainly use DW to build CF sites, I found that the code hinting (or what you call it) (not only for CF, but also CSS, html etc) is better then it is in CFBuilder (the beta version of CFBuilder anyway - for me). I mainly use DW in code view though.
Like you said, download both and give them a whirl.
