Since we upgraded to Front Page 2003, the dynamic link between Front Page
and MS ACCESS became very unstable. The form based queries and updates of
ACCESS database tables are giving a variety of error messages. It became
case sensitive. It gives error messages if the forms or asp pages are not in
the root web. And a variety of other errors that never existed in Front Page
2002. What are we doing wrong?
 
Hi Orman,

This is a known issue in FrontPage 2003, Refer :
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=817029

Work around:
==========
The workaround is to manually update the s-columnnames and s-columntypes
values in the DatabaseRegionStart webbot code.

To do so, us the following steps:
1. Create a new ‘default’ Database Results Wizard page with the same table
as in the page giving the error.
2. Switch to HTML view.
3. Locate the following section of code:
<!--webbot bot="DatabaseRegionStart"
4. Copy the following text of s-columnname and s-columntype [example given
below].
s-columnnames="Expr1000,EmployeeID,FirstName" s-columntypes="3,3,202"
5. Open the page that is returning the error in FrontPage 2003.
6. Switch to the HTML view and locate the following section of code:
<!--webbot bot="DatabaseRegionStart"
7. Update the s-columnnames value to include all field names, including
derived
names for fields from aggregate functions like COUNT, etc. For example:
s-columnnames="Expr1000,EmployeeID,FirstName"
8. Update the s-columntypes value to include all field types, including
derived
types from aggregate functions like COUNT, etc. For example:
s-columntypes="3,3,202"

Vijay
