Answer 1

Unfortunately, The Help Section may not give this person the
help they desire... Which, if I properly deduced the situation, is
"why" they are asking the question. Wou;dn't it be safe to assume
that most have already sought an answer before they waste time at a
forum, getting one more username and password to remember and
brow-beaten by the forum trolls? Here is what the Helpsection says
about the subject:
Searched for "setup template"
Creating a database connection
The final step of the setup process is to create a connection
to the database.
To create a database connection in Dreamweaver:
Open any ASP.NET page in Dreamweaver, and then open the
Databases panel (Window > Databases).
Click the Plus (+) button in the Databases panel and select
OLE DB Connection from the pop-up menu.
The OLE DB Connection dialog box appears.
Enter connTownsend as the connection name.
Click the Templates button.
The Connection String Template dialog box appears.
From the list of templates, select Microsoft Access 2000
(Microsoft Jet 4.0 Provider) and click OK.
Dreamweaver adds a connection string template in the OLE DB
Connection dialog box. The template contains placeholders for
missing information in the connection string.
In the Data Source text box, enter the full path to the
sample database file on your hard disk or the remote
computer’s hard disk. If ASP.NET is running on your local
computer and you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, use
the following path:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Tutorial_assets\data\tutorial.mdb
NOTE
The path may vary depending on where you installed
Dreamweaver.
For example, you might enter this path as the value of Data
Source for a database on your local hard disk:
Data Source=C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Tutorial_assets\data\tutorial.mdb;
Or you might enter this path for a database on a remote
server:
Data Source=C:\users\Denman\Sites\data\tutorial.mdb;
Delete the User ID and the Password lines.
The Access database does not require a user ID or password.
Click Test.
Dreamweaver attempts to connect to the database. If the
connection fails, do the following:
Double-check the path to the database.
Check the settings for the folder Dreamweaver uses to process
dynamic pages (see Specifying where dynamic pages can be
processed).
Deploy the supporting files by selecting Site > Advanced
> Deploy Supporting Files.
Consult Troubleshooting Database Connections in Using
Dreamweaver (Help > Using Dreamweaver).
Click OK.
The new connection appears in the Databases panel.

1. Don't use all caps in your posts - it makes them harder to
read
2. Do read DW's F1 Help about templates and how to use them
