Database Connection

[Stacey]

I created an asp and associated database using the
wizards in FrontPage2002. I created them on my local
web. Which files and folders do I need to publish in
order for everything to work? I assume the fpdb folder,
and the asp. Anything else?

Will the connection between asp and database
automatically transfer once they are posted on the web
host server as long as the host has the proper server
extensions?

It's best to publish the entire FP web since there are a number of files, folders needed and folder settings created when you use
the database components. If you're FTP'ing to an ASP site, global.asa, the _fpclass folder are necessary and the web must be made
into an application root.

As long as the remote server is Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 with the FP
extensions, you just need to publish via FP's http mode. In most cases the
connection should work, if not, then open the remote site directly in FP,
then Tools | Web Settings | Database and delete and recreate the connection.
