  Hi Tamara,
After a little head scratching I think I understand what your tring to do. You will have to open all your files in DW and check that they are looking at your new DB or Old DB. Is your new DB an empty clone of your Old DB, because that rules out compatibility. You may want to check that the database is on a unix or windows platform i.e. php, asp.
Hope that helps a bit

  Hi John Thanks i couldnt get my dreamweaver version to see the database it might be my version of php i am using wamp and dream weaver. In order to work quickly i decided to use total edit and build the pages from the old site when i upload to the server it connects and displays the data. Thanks for the reply. When i used dreamweaver to display the data it couldnt find include_once !!
