This section applies only if your web server is running on a remote computer. If your web server is running on the same computer as Dreamweaver, skip to Creating a ColdFusion data source.
Before attempting to connect to the sample database, copy the database to the remote computer's hard disk. If you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, the path on your local hard disk to the database file (trio.mdb) is as follows:
You can place the file in any folder on the remote computer, or you can create a new folder for it.
Caution: There are potential security issues if you place the database file inside the Inetpub folder on the remote computer. It's better to place the file in a folder that's not publicly accessible.
After the database is in place, create a ColdFusion data source in ColdFusion Administrator. (See Creating a ColdFusion data source.)
