After the database, database driver, and DSN are in place, create a database 

connection in Dreamweaver. 

Creating a database connection 

The final step of the setup process is to create a connection to the database. 

If your web server is running on your local computer, you can use the data 

source name (DSN) that Dreamweaver created during installation to 

quickly connect to the sample database. To learn more about DSNs, see 

 Using a DSN 

 in Using Dreamweaver.

To create a database connection in Dreamweaver:

1.

Open any ASP page in Dreamweaver, and then open the Databases 

panel (Window > Databases).

2.

Click the Plus (+) button on the panel and select Data Source Name 

(DSN) from the pop up menu.

The Data Source Name (DSN) dialog box appears. 

3.

Enter connTownsend as the connection name.

If your server is on your local computer, select the Using Local 

DSN option.

If your server is on a remote system, select the Using DSN on 

Testing Server option.

Macintosh users can ignore this step because all database connections 

use DSNs on the testing server.
