Recordset Navigation Suite: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the extension work with Dreamweaver MX and Dreamweaver MX 2004?

A: Yes. Check tom-muck.com for other DW MX 2004 extensions.


Q: Does the extension work with hand-coded pages?

A: No. The extension works in conjunction with pages that use the UltraDev or Dreamweaver MX recordset and repeat regions.


Q: I get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: '[string: "1, 0"]'

A: Macromedia has put some code in the page that breaks the recordset navigation if you use a repeat region with only 1 row (the built-in recordset navigation has this same problem). Typically repeat regions use 2 or more rows. You can fix it by either using a repeat region with more than 1 row, or by changing the following code:

If (MM_size > 1) Then

TO

If (MM_size >= 1) Then

This should fix it.


Q: Which versions of UltraDev does the extension work with?

A: The extension works only with UltraDev 4. UltraDev 1 had a completely different architecture and is not supported. It also works with Dreamweaver MX.


Q: I get this error when I installed your Recordset Navigation Suite:

A: That error is caused by installing the UltraDev version of the Recordset Navigation Suite into Dreamweaver MX. This is a problem that cannot be fixed by the extension developer or by the extension manager. What you have to do is locate these four (or three) files and delete them manually from your Dreamweaver MX configuration folder. They may reside in a multiuser folder in a system like Windows 2000, XP, or Mac OSX. There is a technote here:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/extend/extending_dwmx_errata/extending_dwmx_errata10.html

After manually deleting these files, you should have no problems.


Q: Does this server behavior work with the Sort Repeat Region or the Dynamic Search SQL server behavior?

A: Yes, it is fully compatible with those extensions.


Q: Which PHP server model does the extension work with?

A: It works only with the PHAkt and ImpAKT extensions from www.interakt.ro in UltraDev 4, and it works with the MySQL server model in Dreamweaver MX, as well as the ADODB server model from Interakt.


Q: I've used the extension in the past with PHP, but now it doesn't work any more. Is there a fix?

A: The PHP extensions (PHAkt and ImpAKT) have gone through several versions, and imcompatibility problems between the server model and the Sort Repeat extension have been introduced at various stages. Please send me an email with your version number and the error message and I'll get a fix sent out to you as soon as possible. Due to the numerous versions of PHAkt and ImpAKT out there, I'll treat these on a case by case basis.
