NTFS vs FAT32 for Database problems within FP2003?

[Steve G.]

I have my server set up with NTFS, and haven't yet been
able to store any information from a web page to a
database.

What items should I look for with Access (or a FP2003
created database) in order for data to be stored?

Thanks,
Steve

NTFS vs. FAT isn't the issue, except that you should never
use FAT, which you aren't, so it's not an issue.

The most common mistake is browsing the Web page with a
file URL. You have to use an http:// URL.

Otherwise, exactly what steps have you taken, and exactly
what kind of error do you receive?

Basically, I let FP2003 create a database, verified the
link, and created my form, that exports the fields I want
to the database.

What happens is nothing! No data is getting stored.
Kinda frustrating.....

Thanks,
Steve

Have you delete and then recreated the connection under Tools | Web Settings | Database and/or run a
check / server health on the server and let FP tighten security and you are storing the database in
the fpdb folder, correct?

I haven't tightened down the security on the site, and
yes, I'm storing the info into the fpdb folder.

In that case, try the procedure at:

This will at least get you an error message to investigate.
