How do I delete a database?

T

Tomas

I have made a simple web-based ToDo list for internal company use, and
something went wrong and I delete it.

I tried to create a new database results and edit pages, but now FP hangs,
and I am sure it is due to some old files or entries.

Obviously it is not enough to just delete the diredtory structure with the
results and the .mdb file. There miust be some other files or entries.

Anybody know?

Best,

Tomas

Hi Tomas,

Try using a new database, then create a database results wizard. If
FrontPage hangs again, it can be due to some other issues.
Check your application log for error messages.

Hope this helps

On the server and/or your local machine, browse to the folder that contains your
database (in Frontpage, typically this is a folder called 'fpdb'), select and
delete it. You may also need to go to the global.asa file and delete the
connection string to the db you are deleting (global.asa is just a text file,
will open in notepad). Save the changes, and re-publish global.asa.

OR

In the connection wizard/form properties etc, you can possibly delete the
connection there, and then remove the db file manually.

Don't edit the global.asa unless you understand DB connections
- just delete it (after deleting the DB connection in Toils Site Settings Database) and let FP create a new one when you File Import
your new database into FP
