Your Web site might be hosted on an incorrectly configured Web server
A Web site based on ASP or ASP.NET can display interactive views of desktop-based or server-based data by using ASP code or ASP.NET controls.
To use ASP, the following technologies are required on your Web server:
- Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP Professional
Active Server Pages (ASP) with Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)
-
FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions from Microsoft (or later) or SharePoint Team Services v1.0 from Microsoft
-
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 (or later)
To use ASP.NET, the following technologies are required on your Web server:
- Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP Professional
ASP.NET
-
FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions (or later) or SharePoint Team Services v1.0
-
Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 (or later)
Contact your Web server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for more information.
Your Web site location starts with C:\ instead of http://
To display interactive views of data based on ASP or ASP.NET, a Web site must be hosted on a server that uses the HTTP protocol. When you open or create a Web site to be used with a database, verify the following:
-
If you've already created a Web site When you open the site in Microsoft FrontPage, check to see that the location specified at the top of the Folder List begins with http://. An example of a valid location is http://www.example.com/subsite1.
If the location appears to be a path to a local or network location
— such as C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Web Sites\Subsite1 — you'll need to create a Web site at a location that uses the HTTP protocol. A Web site on a local or network drive is not a valid location to display database-enabled pages. -
If you need to create a Web site In the New dialog box, under Specify the location of the new Web, the location you type must start with http://. An example of a valid location is http://www.example.com/subsite1.
Do not use a local or network location
— such as C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Web Sites\Subsite1. Instead, create a Web site at a location that uses the HTTP protocol. A Web site on a local or network drive is not a valid location to display database-enabled pages.
Your database page might not be saved with the correct extension
To display the contents of a database results region on your Web page, the file must have an extension of .asp for Web sites running Active Server Pages (ASP) or .aspx for Web sites running ASP.NET. A standard .htm or .html extension is not valid.
My database-enabled page won't load when I click Preview in Browser.
If you see the error message "HTTP Error 403 (403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden)" in your browser window, the folder storing your file is not activated to allow scripts to run.
-
In the Folder List, right-click the folder your page is stored in.
-
Select the Allow scripts to be run check box.
I can't run the Database Results Wizard because Database is unavailable on the Insert menu.
There are several reasons why Database on the Insert menu might be unavailable.
You're using a Web site based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
-
Web sites located on servers running on Windows SharePoint Services use a different set of features to display data. To display data on a Web site based on Windows SharePoint Services, click the Data menu, and then click Insert Data View.
You're using a disk-based Web site
-
When you open the site in Microsoft FrontPage, check to see that the location specified at the top of the Folder List begins with http://. An example of a valid location is http://www.example.com/subsite1.
If the location appears to be a path to a local or network location
— such as C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Web Sites\Subsite1 — you'll need to create a Web site at a location that uses the HTTP protocol. A Web site on a local or network drive is not a valid location to display database-enabled pages.

I can run the Database Results Wizard but can't finish it because of errors.
If the server encounters an error when trying to retrieve a record source on the second page of the Database Results Wizard, you might be attempting to access a password-protected database without proper authentication.
To add a username and password, do the following:
-
On the Tools menu, click Site Settings, and then click the Database tab.
-
Click the database connection you want, and then click Modify.
The Database Connection Properties dialog box appears.
-
Click Advanced.
The Advanced Connections Properties dialog box appears.
-
Under Authorization, type the correct username and password.
The OK button is unavailable when I add a database connection.
In the New Database Connection dialog box, after you click an option, click Browse to specify a URL for the database.
If you do not click Browse and then specify a URL, you will not be able to complete the task and return to the Database tab in the Site Settings dialog box.
