Quick Start Guide

Connecting to the sample database (ASP) 283
5. Click the DSN button and select CafeTownsend from the list of DSNs.
If you’re using Dreamweaver on a Windows computer, during
installation, Dreamweaver created a DSN called CafeTownsend, which
points to the Microsoft Access database in the Dreamweaver
application folder.
6. Click Test.
Dreamweaver attempts to connect to the database. If the connection
fails, do the following:
■ Double-check the DSN.
■ Check the settings for the folder Dreamweaver uses to process
dynamic pages (see “Specifying where dynamic pages can be
processed” on page 278).
■ Consult Chapter 29, “Troubleshooting Database Connections” in
Using Dreamweaver.
7. Click OK.
The new connection appears in the Databases panel.
The sample ASP application is now set up for the Getting Started with
Dreamweaver tutorials. For more information, see “Tutorial: Developing a
Web Application” on page 197.
