Dreamweaver in-class activity reflection

Finally we manage to complete the assignment...

1. Open ASP VBScript in Dreamweaver, create < New Site and name your site. Before that you
must make sure that your computer has inetpub and functioning as well.
2.**Remember not to create your inetpub manually, it doesn't help at all...
3. Follow all the instruction in the handout.
4. Create new blank page in Access, name your file and save it in inetpub by using Access
2002-2003 with .mdb file extension.
5. Type in the information for your form in Access, in this activity we create a Registration Page
with the details below:
i. Name
ii. Username (make sure no spacing between user and name)
iii. Password (click on password button in properties so that it would be hidden when viewed)
iv. Remarks (make sure the data type is in memo form)
6. Setting up connection is a crutial part where it determine whether you can continue or not.
Open an ASP page in Dreamweaver, Window>Database, click the + button on the panel, select
CCS from the menu. Type the connection name as 'dmx' and the connection string. (you may
use the connection from e-learning "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ="&
Server.MapPath("/data2/data2.mdb"), change the bolded word to your file name. Click
'Test'.
7. If the connection is successful, we can continue...
8. Setup the contact form. Create a new page in Dreamweaver. File>New>BlankPage >ASP
VBScript>Create.
9. Insert Form, type in "Registration Page and the intruction", insert table where it contained 4
rows and 2 columns.
10. Type in the details
i. Name

11. For each column, insert < form < text field, change the name in properties and the characters
