I am trying to connect a database to the webpage that I am creating so that different users can view required information by logging into the server.

I am using Frontpage 2000, and am sure that I have created the database connection (to a Microsoft Access file) properly because all my fields from the database appear under the database results wizard when I want to display the records. However, when I view the page from the server, I get the following error:

Database Results Error
The database connection named 'WorkDatabase' is undefined.

This problem can occur if:
* the connection has been removed from the web
* the file 'global.asa' is missing or contains errors
* the root folder does not have Scripting permissions enabled
* the web is not marked as an Application Root

... I have tried the suggestions in the Microsoft Support Page but they haven't been working. I have also tried to send information to the database using a form, but that does not work either.

I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the installation of the Frontpage Server Extensions as I cannot even send to a new database or text file. I tried doing so with a temporary web.

I may be missing something obvious, but I haven't been able to find the problem. Thanks for any help in advance.
