    Dear members,


    I am trying to connect to a database i created in access. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 FTP to connect to discountasp .
    I have named the:
    DNS healthyeate_connect
    Path \_database\customerDetails.mdb
    When in dreamwaever and I am trying to make a connection using the DSN connecting box i input the DNS - healthyeate_connect, then i click on the DNS button to select the ODBC but the list is blank.
    What am i doing wrong or what am i meant to do?
    I have uploading the database to the correct folder within hosting server and my document type is ASP VB script.
    i tried asking discountasp for help but they refered me to here insted.

    You should seriously consider moving away from ODBC DSN in favor of OleDB connection. ODBC connection to Access is just NOT stable and can cause many strange error when your site get some load. I think DW allows to you to create OleDB connection.
