I have a local site created in classic asp and I would like to finally move it to wappler.
The site uses and access database
when I try to connect to the database I get this error!

The error message pretty much explains the problem. You have to add a target in your project definition and select it then in the target menu…
Check this tutorial - it shows how to do this with an ftp, but the same applies to ALL targets (local network, etc.).
Thanks. forgot the activation part. I had activated before but could not add app connect local. It was giving me an error that the files was outside the target. I followed advice on here then closed and re-opened the folder. This time I could add the app connect. I just forgot to activate the connection.
Now that I have activated the connection my database connection come up ok however whan I try to include the data by using a generated table it returns no data.
In debug mode I get a very long error that begins with htis.
{“type”:“Error”,“fileName”:“lib/db/connection.asp”,“lineNumber”:6,“message”:“Required module “lib/db/server/undefined” does not exist”,
What happens when you click the test database connection button in the database connection dialog?
It says it is ok. This is what puzzles me. I thought maybe it was a permissio issue so I added an admin password and it gives the same result (yes I saved changes)
any suggestions? I would like to get all my site management over to wappler so I can stop using and paying for dreamweaver
It appears that this is a bug in our code for the ODBC System DSN, seems like just nobody uses access db nowadays so we have not really noticed this issue
We will fix this in the next update.
BTW - you may consider using some real database, access is not the greatest solution in 2019
I set up a mysql database on my server and tested migrating the data but I have a similar issue there. The connection shows successful but I cannot get data to output on the page. Maybe the same odbc issue? If you are going to offer these “legacy” features I only ask that they work. I apologize for the trouble but I want to get the “legacy” site working before I abandon dreamweaver then I can migrate to a new mysql database. It’s hard to advance to newer technology when you can’t get either to work.

Yes, the same issue - we are going to fix this ASAP
I hope you can understand my frustration as I tried to move on from access to my sql but couldn’t get either resolved. I’m more than happy to wait knowing a solution is coming.
Maybe I’ll see if the new advanced query thing will allow me to sort by sums! another thing that I’ve been patiently hoping for.
