Filling an access table with data put in a form

Question

Hello everybody and in particular to Jeffrey Bardzell, if
he's there...
I'm reading the guide "Dreamweaver MX 2004 with ASP,
COLDFUSION and PHP written by J.Bardzell" aiming at learning how to
create asp dynamic pages. Thanks to J.Bardzell for his very good
book. BUT I'M HAVING PROBLEMS!
I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm trying to create an application for users' registration.
In simple words this is what I want to happen:
1)the user fills a form with his personal data,including
email and password and then he presses the submit button - this
implies:
a)the data go into the data base within a table prepared in
advance to store them and so he's REGISTERED;
b)the browser shows the page I made for login. There's a
second form where he has to insert his email address and password
to be recognised as a registered user.
In order to get this result I set the connection to the
database and appearently all seems well done .
But unfortunately:
when I try pressing "submit" either nothing happens or
there's an error page saying:
type of error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0X80004005)
[Microsoft][Driver ODBC Microsoft Access]
An updatable query is required for the operation
/newland/register.asp, line 141
(the last line is referred to the ficticious site used by the
Bardzell book.)
Bardzell says that when defining the connection to the
database (in the "data source name" window) it must be specified
that Dreamweaver should connect "using dsn on testing server". When
I do so the data base appears not to be on the testing server.
Instead it shows if I use the local dsn. But still data are not
sent to the data base table.
Please help, I'm desperate, I need to solve this!
Thank you,
Giuseppe, Rome.

Answer 1

The error is related to permissions setting on the database.
Have a look at
the article on www.charon.co.uk on how to set the
permissions.
