Why doesn't my ACCESS DB work in Dreamweaver?

In order to create database backed pages in Dreamweaver (UltraDev, or MX) you first need to create a connection to the database. Then you use that connection to put data on the pages. This connection will also allow you to preview the data within the Dreamweaver workspace.

In order to make this happen Dreamweaver creates temp files on the "Application Server". These pages are for the sole reason to assist in creating pages within Dreamweaver. For whatever reason Dreamweaver was bombing out trying to create these pages.

The solution is to avoid editing directly on the server (which one would typically do if on a LAN), and to set up a web server on the local machine. You need to use the local webserver as the "Application Server", develop and test only on the local machine, and then upload to the web server.
