where do I go from here?

? Windows XP Pro
? IIS
? ASP VBScript
I am working with the Dreamweaver MX demo with the intent of upgrading from DW IV. I have carefully worked through the ?getting started? tutorial twice, dotting every ?I? etc?.This evolves creating 2 pages: a page that calls up an Access table, and a page that inserts data into it. All database connection tests pass as I move along down to the one asking the sever to load the table in the page, but the last test, clicking ?submit? to enter new data, fails. The data is not entered in the database, and the confirmation page is not displayed. There is no specific error indicated here, just a basic ?this page cannot be displayed? screen in IE6. I am at a loss as to how to move beyond this. I do not want to tell the boss that I cannot get through the beginners tutorial of an app. Help please.

If you are testing with IE, you should turn off friendly error messages.
This is preventing you from seeing what the real problem is.

To do so, select Tools=>Internet Options, then select the 'Advanced' tab and
uncheck the box next to 'Show friendly HTTP error messages'

It's the old 80004005 error. This must be the kitchen sink error. This time my troubleshooting sheets on 80004005 errors do not show this particular one:

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an updateable query

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an updateable
query

Right click the Access .mdb database file, choose Properties, Security tab.
Make sure the Users group has full read/write access to the database.
