Attaching an Access db to FP

[Guest]

I am using the import wizard to import an Access db on my network and I keep
getting and error message that I don't understand. "An error occured
accessing your FP web files. Authors - if authoriziing against a web server,
please contact the webmaster for this server's site. WebMasters - please see
the server's system log for more details." What does this mean? Can you
help right away? Thank you

Some users are running into a 1 MB file size import limitation. User Windows Explorer to get the
file into your web, then run Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks, then Tools | Web / Site Setting |
Database and create your database connection.

Thanks Thomas, but I don't mean to sound dumb but could you explain yourself
in more detail. I followed the instructions from the help file "Usa an
Access databse in a Web" but I still get that error message.

Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to copy the .mdb file to the fpdb folder within the folder
containing your web content, then follow the rest of my instructions below after opening the site in
FP. You must be access the site via http, not a drive letter for database to work.
