Uploaded Admin to Server - Dynamic Forms don't work

Question

Okay, got everything how I want it on the administration end and it works tested locally.
Uploaded to the web server and now the Dynamic Forms that I created using the Wizard are giving me an error.
Error:
Internal error.
Developer Details:
tNG_multipleUpdate.getLocalRecordset:
Error message:
No database selected
SQL statement:
SELECT First_Name,Last_Name,statusID,divisionID,owner_picture,ownerID, ownerID as kt_pk_owner FROM owner WHERE ownerID=3. (MUPD_RS)
tNG Execution Trace - VIEW
Thought maybe an include didn't get uploaded so redid those.
The Dynamic List page works, so the connection key is fine. The public site is fine too.
Suggestions?

Stepping back to the root cause (again, the SQL error message), what you should look at is that your database configuration is correct for the live server. This line:
<?php require_once('Connections/conn_sqh.php'); ?>
shows where the connection data is stored in the automatically generated files. Please ensure that the:
$database_sqh = "some_schema_name";
line has the correct value for your live server in place of "some_schema_name" as that is what the root cause of your error message is. You can change this in the ADDT Control Panel->Login Settings->Database tab by using the using the "Define.." button on the connection.
There is likely an easier way to access this info, but I would recommend simply rewriting the connection file to change the values based upon the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to get something that works locally and remotely without any changes. If you change the file, then ensure you set the parameter before modifying it based on the host:
$hostname_someconnection = "localhost";
if( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost' )
    $hostname_someconnection = "someconnection.local";
If you fail to do this in the correct order, then you can break the GUI. This technique lets you use a proper FTP tool for upload to a site which can save huge amounts of time but it also adds to your administrative overhead.
