Database Interface Wizard, et. al.

When I click on File/New to go to the Database Interface
Wizard (DIW) in my registered copy of Frontpage 2003, the
only tab that shows is the General tab and the DIW option
does not show. None of the other tabs are there either
(i.e. Packages, My Templates, etc.). I did run Detect and
Repair with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you first open a Site using File Menu | Open Site?

Try it without a site open. File | New, then in the Task Pane on the right,
choose One page Web site. Do you see it then?

Are you trying to create a disk-based web (C:|... or a server-based web
(http://localhost/...)?

I am trying to add a database search function to an
existing site. The site is at C:inetpub/wwwroot/mydata in
which I view the results at
http://localhost/mydata/page.asp

On my other computer with FP 2003 all the tabs show even
with a disk based web open. The computer I am trying to
use that is having the problem is running Windows Pro 2000
which is my testing server.

Any other suggestions is appreciated.

If you are trying to create a database search page in an existing web, you
can (and I do) create it in http://localhost/mydata Create a new page, save
it with a .asp extension, and then Insert | Database | Results. It will
launch the Database Results Wizard, which will walk you through creating a
Query page.

Thanks for the reply but there is no option for DIW when I
go to New/Web. The only tab is the General tab and the DIW
is not located there. When I create a new page and save as
page.asp then go to Insert/Database, the Database option
is dimmed. Running IIS 5 on Windows 2000 Pro so I don't
know why its doing this. I can create an ASP page the page
displays correctly when I view it at
http://localhost/page.asp.

What version of FP are you using here? IIRC in FP2002 and earlier you have
to set the Tools-Options-Compatibility to use ASP and to use IIS servers in
order to allow the database functions.
