I downloaded the Dreamweaver extension dwmx2004_extensions_for_cfmx7 for my
dreamweaver 8. I did this so i would beable to connect to Access's database.
I click on the (+) button and scroll down to Microsoft Access connection and
click it. Then I enter my information and go to click ok nothing happens. The
screen stays up and everything. I see the button depress but thats it. Can
you please help me?

Look at the status bar. Are you getting page errors? It sounds as though
the javascript is getting hung up somehow.

I suspect that this is because you're using an extension designed for DW MX
2004 in DW 8. Have you checked to see if there is an updated version?

I also don't understand why you need the extension to connect to Access. You
can create a data source in CF Administrator and point to the Access
database.

I'm trying so hard to use coldfusion 8 and dreamweaver 8 to connect to Access
but no matter what I do i get errors. With Coldfusion 8 I log on and I go to
"data source" Set up what I need, then when I go to browse server for data
files I get a error that says IO error on server communication. My goal is to
build a online store. I want to use access to store my data inventory then make
temples with dreamweaver to show my inventory to visitors on my site when I get
it up. I am lost and don't know what to do. Everthing I try seems to run into
dead ends, please help!!!

I try to follow the advice that Douglas Adams provided in his Hitchiker's
Guide to the Galaxy.

D O N ' T P A N I C ! ! !

Try this and restart your server...

Let me know if that fixes it. If not, we'll dig a little deeper.

Finaly I have was able to connect to my Access Database with Coldfusion 8
Administrator. I reinstalled Coldfuision and enabled the RDS this time. The
link that you sent did help. Now, how do I get Dreamweaver 8 to retrieve the
database information and display it on a web page. I am a true noob at this
but I am truly learning alot. I am beginning to really like web designning.

I don't have ColdFusion running right now as I'm working with ASP.NET
lately, and this is quite a lengthy subject. There are numerous
course/books/eweb sites on this subject if you're interested.

Generally, you go to the Application panel on the left and work through the
instructions to set up a site, document type, testing server, RDS login, and
data source.

Once you've done that, you can bind to the data, using the bindings tab to
create a recordset.

Have a look at the Help -> Getting Started with DreamWeaver section, under
Setup for Coldfusion heading. They walk you thrugh the entire process.
