Access Dreamweaver Can't find a valid editor for this file extension
Hello Experts
I have a Dreamweaver Site which is using Access.mdb
If I try to open the access database from within DreamweaverI get the error message
Can't find a valid editor for this file extension
I can open the .mdb outside of Dreamweaver.
I can open other access.mdb files within Dreamweaver in other sites on the same machine, so it seems like the problem is specific to this one site.
I wondered if anyone has any ideas for this please
Regards
John

Sorry for the delay, I dont seem to have been notified there was an answer, (may be been asleep)!
Thanks for the answer
It was not there but I browsed to the MSACCESS.EXE and MSACCESS is now showing but it made no difference.

Weird.
If it works in one site, it should work in all sites. Is this particular mdb file secured in any way?

Secured?
Not sure what you refer to.
The permissions are set and its working in all other respects
Thanks

Permissions? Are you trying to open this file for editing on the web server (remote site)?
Access won't be able to do that unless you map your web server as a network drive. You would need to link tables to make it happen from a local version.

I am using this database within a website I am developing on my local PC under localhost.
Does that answer your point?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
This may sound simple and redundant but CHECK your path syntax in the local site setup/configurations again for any anamolies.

Thanks Jason, how do I force the cache to rebuild please?
Under the Sites | Advanced | Rebuild Cache menu.

Woot. Glad it works now.
Under Edit | Preferences | File Types/Editors, is the .mdb extension mapped to the msaccess.exe application file?
