MS access database in a subweb

[Fred]

Hello group,

In Frontpage can a Microsoft access database be stored in a subweb of the
main website? and can the main web create a connection to it?


Thanks

Fred

Hi Fred,

What version of FP?

There nothing that technically stops it, however, the design of FP may prevent you from using it with out having to modify the
global.asa file.

Mike,
Thanks so much for your help on this matter

First of all I'm using FP2003

I have a site working - where the access db is in folder _fpdb. What I
would like to do is to have the database and asp code pages that update the
database in a subweb. I'm able to move the folder into a subweb, but If try
to verify the db connection from Tools>Site settings>database tab from the
main website I get the error message that the file
'subwebfoldername/fpdb/dbname.mdb' referenced by this connection does not
exist in the current web site.

Would it be good to break a large website into many subwebs where one subweb
hold the access database and the code to update the database?

To make the DB accessible from the root or any subweb, if your host support DSN, put the DB in their DB folder (and get a DSN
connection for it), then create a DSN link to it in FP
