Number 2: A Database – it’s very basic for you to need a database with information to put into your pages. A database can be a very simple CSV file, or a complex SQL Server database. But to generate a small database, it’s alright to use Microsoft Access. Remember that whatever system you use, you’ll need to know at least something about it. Lots of good books can help you with this.

Number 3: A System Connection to Your Database – you need to set up a kind of ‘connection’ to your system so that web server on your machine can relate with database. This is just a definition of where database is and a few simple rules on how it should be treated.

There are different ways of making connection but easiest might be through defining a system DSN (Data Source Name). Make sure, though that you have a latest version of MDAC from Microsoft’s site. To get Dreamweaver MX working correctly with your system, you might need this.

That’s it folks! Prepare these things and make lots of Data-driven pages on Dreamweaver MX! -30-
