accessing database with frontpage

[EstimatorOne Programmer]

I am running a web server off winXP Pro and i have ASP also on it. Do i need
anything else so that i can send queries and display the results from the
webpage. (my database is in access). Any help on this matter will be greatly
appriciated. Thanks

what about database driver(s)?
I don't know if i have some, if that is the question.

My problem is that when i try to load my page from the web it says that the
page doesn't exist. (But i know it exist because i'm looking at it as the
message comes up)

I wouldn't worry about that. FrontPage installs all the necessary MDAC
(Microsoft Data Access Components) when you install it, and if the host
supports ASP, they will have them installed as well.

FrontPage can build you some basic ASP or ASP.net (depending upon the
version your'e using), or even SharePoint (never mind about that for now)
data-driven pages. This requires a Windows server that supports ASP and/or
ASP.Net on your hosting service. If they don't, they probably support PHP or
other *nix-related database technologies, but FrontPage doesn't (yet) have
tools for developing them.

If the above is all straight, search the FrontPage help for "database" and
you should have the information you seek. If you get stuck, come on back.
We'll be here!

It seem like I have all the right component that I need but when I try to
load the page it's like if it doesn't exist. I have my file on the web server
named database.asp , ASP enabled on ther web server and everythign else on
the site works except that page. Am I linking something wrong or is there
something I don't know?

 

[MikeR]

Could we have:
The exact wording of the error message.
Either the HTML for the page or a URL to it.

So far, it doesn't sound like a database related problem.

"works" is not descriptive. For example, if you go to a Doctor, he/she is
going to ask you what your symptoms are. So, what are the symptoms?

[EstimatorOne Programmer]

Sorry if this is showing up twice. Disregard previous message, url is
www.ujr.ca/test/database.asp

Have you published the web, or just the page. The hidden _fpclass
folder needs to be published as well. The error message relates to a
file in the _fpclass folder, which normally contains 3 or 4 files
associated with FP's Database wizards.

Ronx, yes the web is fully published and i have 3 files and a folder in
_fpclass (fpdblib.inc , fpdbrgn1.inc , fpdbrgn1.inc and folder _vti_cnf)

 

[Kevin Spencer]

The folder containing the ASP pages does not allow scripts to be run.

Check the paths to the include files in _fpclass. The error message
is referring to http://example.com/test/_fpclass/fpdblib.inc ; the
include should be
../_fpclass/fpdblib.inc (assuming test is not a subweb)

Kevin, I have the database.asp in the folder called test and i have set it to
allow scripts and excutables. Do I have to change something else?
