Workgroup Information Files with Data Pages
|
|
|
| I have a mdb file located on my web server. I create a data page with its
htm file type and place this file on my web server too. When I bring up the
page in my browser I get a message box stating ...
"Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing
or opened exclusively by another user."
I create a mdw file, which is a workgroup information file by selecting
Tools | Security | Workgroup Administrator from the main menu. I set the
path for the root directory of where the file will sit on my server. I then
try to access the page again but I still get the same message box.
I can do whatever I want with ASP and ADO but I would think data pages would
allow me to build data screens very quickly.
Any ideas on what I might be missing or doing wrong. Thanks in advance...

| Add the following parameter to the connection string of the DAP page:
Jet OLEDB:System Database=\Some repertory\system.mdw;

| Sylvain,
Now I am getting a message that says "Microsoft Office Web Components cannot
open my database"
Thanks for any continued help.

| Did you replace the « \Some repertory\system.mdw » with the true path to
your MDW file and put a « ; » where required before the new parameter? See
http://www.connectionstrings.com/ for more information on connection
string.
Also, I suppose that by Internet, you mean an Intranet; as the JET OLEDB
driver doesn't work over the full Internet (or WAN), only on a local machine
or over a LAN.
