Hi Y'all,
Longtime HWG lurker finally has a question.

I went through Webmonkeys beginner's tutorial on database connectivity(the 
parking one). Seemed pretty straightforward and configured my system to try 
to connect to the access database using Personal Web Server on the same 
machine that I'm running the browser, ie a single machine rather than 
trying to connect over my intranet to keep things as simple as possible.

For the life of me it just won't work. The first form won't populate with 
the info from the database. I've messed with everything I can think of 
including tinkering with the ODBC(32 bit) configuration but nothing seems 
to work. A friend suggested that I have to have the machine set up with DNS 
but I even tried that without success.

Does anyone have a clue? Webmonkey doesn't respond to my emails for help.
TIA,
Dave G.
