let me see if i can explain this problem:
- i created a finished project in v4.1 with a DSN that points to a certain server. everything works perfectly
- i moved the whole project to a different server and modified the DSN info in dbconnection.asp without going through ASPRunner
- later, when i try to open the project in ASPRunner it gives me two errors because it can't find the system DSN it's expecting.
The Problem:
after i enter the new system DSN after closing the error alerts i have lost most or all of my project settings and have to start all over again!
The Workaround:
i went back to my saved .aspr project file, opened it in notepad, and corrected this line: <m_strConnectionString>. when i opened it with the correct DSN, my project settings were preserved.
The Suggested Fix:
when opening a project after the DSN has changed, there should be a friendly alert saying the program can no longer find the original DSN and offering the user a chance to point to the new one before losing all of the original project's settings.
