Error connecting to a table in a database

Question

I am trying to insert user login script and have an error.
Can anyone tell me why Dreamweaver MX 2004 cannot connect to
the tables in my databases? I am using MS Access 2002 and there are
tables in the databses.
I can supply a jpeg of the error if needed

Hello,
Are you using Windows XP SP2?
If so, it's a known issue.
Here's the fix:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19515&sliceId=2
Click on "connectivity fails with local ASP.NET and ASP
servers..."
There's a link to download the extension fix in "Workaround"
ASP: When using a local ASP test server running on XP SP2
with Dreamweaver
(i.e. the Testing Server URL prefix is set to "
http://localhost"), and you
specify "Using driver on testing server" or "Using DSN on
testing server,"
database connectivity fails. If you click the Test button in
the Custom
Connection String or Data Source Name (DSN) dialog box, it
says the
connection was made successfully. However, if you then try to
browse the
tables in the Databases panel or create a recordset, the
database tables do
not display or you get the following error message: "Unable
to retrieve
tables from this connection, click on the 'Define...' button
to test this
connection."
Workaround: Download and install the Dreamweaver extension
fix by Macromedia
that resolves this issue (Ref. 179021). To use this
extension, follow the
steps below. The steps below apply to both ASP.NET and ASP
sites:
1.. In Dreamweaver, go to the Files panel and choose one of
your ASP.NET
site definitions.
2.. Select Site > Advanced > Remove Connection
Scripts.
Note: If this option is grayed out, open an ASP.NET page in
Dreamweaver.
Removing the connection scripts will delete the contents of
the
_mmServerScripts folder, which is located in the testing
server folder. The
_mmServerScripts folder is hidden in Dreamweaver's Files
panel, but will be
visible if viewed with a different file browser. The
_mmServerScripts folder
consists of these three files: adojavas.inc, MMHTTPDB.asp and
MMHTTPDB.js.
The connection scripts are used by Dreamweaver to perform
remote database
connectivity when developing pages within Dreamweaver. These
script files
have no affect on your web pages during run-time (i.e. when a
visitor views
your ASP.NET pages via a web browser).
3.. Repeat steps 1-2 for each of your ASP.NET site
definitions.
4.. Quit Dreamweaver.
5.. Install the extension.
6.. Restart Dreamweaver.
7.. Go into the Files panel, select one of your ASP.NET
sites, and open an
.aspx file.
8.. Go into the Databases panel and delete your existing
database
connections. Before deleting them, make sure to open up each
connection and
write down the settings. You can open a connection by either
double-clicking
the connection name, or right-clicking the connection name
and selecting
Edit.
9.. Create a new database connection. Use the same
connection names you
had before, so any existing pages with DataSets and Server
Behaviors still
work correctly.
10.. Click the Test button in the database connection dialog
box. This
will upload the new connection scripts to the testing server.
11.. Repeat steps 7-10 for each of your Dreamweaver ASP.NET
site
definitions.
Note: This extension is compatible with Dreamweaver MX 2004
and Dreamweaver
MX. The current version of the extension is 1.0.2. Version
1.0.1 resolved a
database connectivity problem with the ASP VBScript server
model. Version
1.0.2 includes the fixes in version 1.0.1 and also resolves
compatibility
issues with Dreamweaver MX (version 6). You can see which
version of the
extension you have by opening the Extension Manager.
