Database option greyed out

Hi

In frontpage on one of the subwebs if I go to Insert>Database is greyed out
and I can't fathom out why.

Any ideas would be great?

Thanks

I ran into this a week ago. If the server's OS is something besides Windows,
you may not have the option (ability) to create an Access DB and the coding
to make the connection, so the option is greyed out. My provider is running
UNIX, so I can't use Access, either. (At first I couldn't figure it out,
they have FP extentions, but the DB doesn't work.) However, it's not, as I
thought when I found out, the end of the world. Just save the data from the
form in a text file file in the _private folder. When you want the data,
download the text file, open it, do a 'save as' and save the file with a
..csv extention. Then open Access or Excel, Data > Import External Data >
browse for the file, click the mouse a few times and all the data will be
imported, along with field names, etc.
