Accessing a database in a subweb?

G

Guest

I orginally had this problem when I decided I wanted to password proect my forms that control the database. So, I create a subweb, change the access rights on it, and then drag the forms I have into there (the fp generated ones). BAD MOVE! I cannot see the database connection anymore.

Even if I put the datase inside the subweb with the forms, the main web cannot acccess that subweb. So is there a way to access the subweb's database from the upper web?

Thanks!

You would either have to hand code a dsnless connection or use a system DSN connection (if allowed
by your host)
