After several days trying to merely install, finally getting that to work....
After several days trying to work with the tutorial, finally throwing that out the window...
After several days of trial and error, finally getting display grids to work...
After several days of working on link controls/recordsets but not being able to make them either appear at all (mysterious templateblock errors), or getting links to actually link to a real page, or getting my record controls to display...
After each of these problems, trying in vain on newsgroups, the web, cc.com, to find some real help.
I thought that this product would help me, an html specialist who can do the basics of asp/vbscript, create front-ends to my databases without learning the ins and outs of real programming. I thought that was the point of it. Obviously this is NOT the case.
I have decided to heck with it, I'll spend the time and build the stuff manually in dreamweaver mx. That is a product I understand.
It's SO frustrating because if I could get it to work (heck, if I could have even gotten the tutorial to work so that I could understand ccs), it would save many hours. MANY. I could really love this product. I WANT to love it! If anyone can let me know where to find some help, I'd love to know!
I just had to vent. Thanks.

But the studio release has increased its complexity (and ease of use). The studio front end has great wizards but you need to follow the tutorial to the letter and know some basics for working with databases.. Your database tables need to have an id as the primary key and should be normalized. That desgin lends itself to Codecharge apps.
Try Codecharge 2.0, the frontend is less intimidating. Take a look at some of the examples included or on the website to get a feel for what are the pieces of a typical frontend in Codecharge..
Though we had some frustrations (more about pushing the envelope), we were up and running in a couple of hours.
if you find yourself spending more time than that, email codecharge and ask for help. they are very prompt and responsive.

Hello. your errosr are of this kind:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'TemplateBlock'
/newsi/Header.asp, line 178
If you go in the CODE tab, seek for the line in error, and you will probably see that when you made changes in design mode, you moved some tags in wrong place.
I.e., for a grid, the tags should be in following order:
<!-- BEGIN Grid logos -->
<!-- BEGIN Row -->
<!-- END Row -->
<!-- END Grid logos -->
If by inadverdtance, you moved a tag in design mode, and put "BEGIN Row" above "BEGIN Grid ....", you will have a TemplateBlock error...
So take care in this order: I.e. for a table:
<!-- BEGIN Grid logos -->
<table>
<!-- BEGIN Row -->
<tr>
<td>
{Label blablabla}
</td>
<td>
{label bliblibli}
</td>
</tr>
<!-- END Row -->
</table>
<!-- END Grid logos -->

Hi,
Don't give up. I don't know if you tried CC or CCS.
But use CC and start with the very easy to understand employee directory example.
I am sure you don't ever want to stop using CC 2.05 anymore. You can even us CC as frontend for real databases like Oracle 9i!
Regards,
Marco
