Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

What's up with DreamWeaver CS4?

D/W tells me it can't find the root folder so I go to "mangae sites", then edit, and show it where the site is located on my desktop, and I get this error message.
Then when I try to upload a file to my website I get this error message.
And yes I'd buy CS6 if I could afford it, who wouldn't. But $50 bucks a month is not something I can afford right now.
And it happens over and over again. I won't allow me to fix it. Even after many attempts. Has anybody an answer to this problem. Oh, and I'm using CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.9. I've been using this for years and have never had a problem till I bought a new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your help, before the fact.

Thanks but I¹ve done that and it just keeps asking me to click on ³manage
site² and do it over and over again. I¹m wondering if perhaps when I bought
this new computer, and the had me change my user name on the computer by
putting a ³1² after it, if somehow that screwed the whole thing up and it
can no longer recognize any of it as a result?

I think that the error message is quite clear, there is a problem with the
mentioned page. Try renaming the document and see what happens.

How can I compact a MSAccess database with java?

Hi.
I have a question (Please Help!!!):
How can I compact a MSAccess database with java-jdbc? Is it posible?
Thanks

MS Access database has a max length limitation of 2.14GB for Access 2000( 1.07G for Access 97), and won't recycle basically space for update/delete sql so tha it's a good idea to use MS Access database for program, which need update/delete frequent ly data. The programmers of HXTT Access(www.hxtt.net) are writing code for CREATE TABLE/DATABASE sql now. If you need a pure Java solution for PACK TABLE/DATABSE urgently in your project, you should send such a requirement to the Support page of www.hxtt.net so that they can schedule complementing such a fucntion. Otherwise, you should pack your databae manually or visit C++ code for Compact an Access Database Programmatically at
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/data/mfc_database/microsoftaccess/article.php/c4327/ , or use Easy Microsoft Access MDB MDE Compactor at http://www.easyhr.com.au/software/easy_mdb_mde_compactor.htm.

Exploring Web Services with Dreamweaver CS4

How can you explore web services with Dreamweaver CS4? You
used to be able to go under Components and add Web Services and
enter the url for the WSDL (ex.
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=70AAB).
How do you do that now in CS4?

Yeah, I knew there were several workspaces. I tried them all
but none showed the Components/Webservices tab.
That was an important tab for me since I do a lot of work
with cfcs in connection with Flex Builder 3.
I just hate having to go on Easter Egg hunts to find the
functions that have been there for years.
Like now I cannot copy and paste some code from one file to
another and the command tab bar is gone for the CFML commands.
It's just a real pain in rear end to have waste a bunch of
time locating where someone decided to bury stuff.

Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?

Hi,
We have poor performance problems with 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2.
It looks like the issue could be because of RAC Ccluster.
Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?
If so, What is the JDBC Driver r u using? Also what App Server (Weblogic or OAS etc) ?
Appreciate your input.
Regards
Vijay Chinnasamy

We are using weblogic 10.3. And I am sorry to tell you that we are yet to move to production.
We are planning to have Database in RAC, so i just thought of taking inputs from you.
can you tell me under what operations you face the poor performance issue?
For us the max no. of users in production is around 6k. So I am wondering how this RAC availability will affect the performance.
Thanks for sharing your inputs.

Synchronize problem with Dreamweaver CS4

Hi all,
I was wondering whether any of you can offer any advice or help with a problem I have with Dreamweaver CS4.
The problem is regarding the Synchronize feature within Dreamweaver, for example after I have made a change to a web page and want to upload this to the internet, the software detects what files have changed which is fine but against the file it has the word and symbol called "Resolve" and this is where I am stuck because I cannot click on the Resolve button to change it to "Put" because the icon is grey so therfore I am unable to upload any changes to any websites.
If anybody can help me then it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Daniel

Hi Hans- G
Many Thanks for this. I will go and have a look. It is strange as I have never experienced this problem before.

Problems controlling divs with dreamweaver cs4

Hi all, so I have been hard coding my website and have had great success with the layout and everything. I am having trouble with dreamweaver cs4, does anyone know if cs4 is compatible with html5? My silicone cupcake liners website looks great but a nice transition to dreamweaver would save a lot of work.

DWCS4 won't be able to correctly read the html5 semantic tags like <nav><aside> or <header> while in Live View. The built in version of the quasi-webkit browser is just too old.
Design View will work for the most part, but does get confused by certain things within HTML5 specific tags, so that will look even more broken than normal.
It also will not automatically generate any HTML5 specific code, there are no HTML5 menu options and there is no update to make it do that.
The program itself is no longer supported by Adobe, being the 5th version removed from "current"...

Flash button doesn't work when used with Dreamweaver CS4

I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.
I have also posted this in the Dreamweaver forum. Please, does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the response! What bothers me is that I was able to use Dreamweaver > insert.... swf on a different file with actionscrip2 controls (thanks to help from Ross Ritchey) but this time the swf has actionscript3 code in it and I was wondering if that makes a difference. I don't get any errors, the button shows as clickable, just nothing happens. Thank you for the suggestion, however the flash html but it is so MASSIVE! It makes looking at the rest of the page difficult and I have several sound files I wanted to add to one webpage.

Searchable database in Dreamweaver CS4

I want to create a page where a list our stores that would be searchable by State or Country. I have a very simple Excle file with all the information for the stores including phone numbers and addresses. I want fileds on the page that will allow a user to choose a state from a drop down list and then the results would show any store in that state, or NONE if a store did not exist.
I ahve read many things about MySQL databases and Recordsets, but I can't quite understand how to set the page. ANY help on this qould be greatly appreciated. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and I'm not that handy with it:(.
Thank you

Forms with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi All,
Does anyone have a link or tutoral on how to create a form in Dreamweaver CS4. I need to make a "Request a Catalog" Form.
I especially might need the most help on figuring out on how to receive the info thru my email.
many thanks,
Alex

HTML forms don't do anything without an Action. You can use Mailto: but this is just asking for Spam and limits the usefulness of your form. Your best solution is to use a form processing script with spam controls built in.
Ask your host if they offer any form-to-email processing scripts you can use... or which flavor script you can use on your server (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion, etc...)

How to use non-MySQL database with DW and PHP...???

I need to connect to a data-source that is not MySQL from
with my PHP scripts. The only option I get under the Databases tab
in the Application panel is MySQL Connection. What about just
standard ODBC connections? Will DW not handle those for me? Do I
have to do all of that by hand??
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There once existed an opensource servermodel called phakt
that used the
ADODB database abstraction library,
the company that created and supported it was bought by Adobe
and
subsequently the project was cancelled.
A group of people (including me) started a community
initiative@
http://openphakt.sourceforge.net
to continue distribution and development of
phakt, but unfortunately I don't have access to Dreamweaver
CS3 due to lack
of funding.
Phakt will almost certainly NOT run on CS3 in it's current
state, but is
should support previous versions.
