I keep getting this message when trying to view the examples
after they are generated:

The requested resource is in use.

What could be causing this? All using ASP 2.0 & Templates.

it happens to me some times (and some times don't I don't really know why!)
because codeCharge is using the access MDB file AND your web page ASP try to
open the same MDB file. What I do to prevent it is to copy the MDB file to
the inetpub/wwwroot/project directory, and in the database section, you can
set a connectionstring for codecharge, and for the site you choose custom,
you copy the one of codecharge but you change the place of the MDB file in
the connectionstring to use the one you copied under your IIS directory.

Nope, that didn't do it. Sometimes I even
get a 500 trying to open the Defalut.asp page.

If I can not get the examples going out-of-the-box,
Why should I even purchase this product?
Sure you have examples on your site, but when I install
them and they do not work and there is no mention of any
prior setups needed, what am I to do?

Your "Get Started" tutorial is too generic with missing
steps.

You want this product to fly? Give the uses some idea
as to HOW TO USE YOUR PRODUCT!

you should buy it because it's not expensive and will make you economize
$1000 + easily by making all the stupid job of displaying grids and doing
the data entry that's a good reason !

If I can not get it to work with teir examples, WHY should I waste $100?
It seems that ,even their support people aren't monitoring these groups to
help
people with questions like this.

Fortunately 'real' databases dont have this problem. Download Mysql for
free
from www.mysql.com and be done with it. Or purchase any of the
supported databases (SQLServer, Oracle etc ... )

By 'real database' I mean a database that was intended to be used
concurrently by multiple users. Access is not such. Access is a simplistic
single user database only intended for use by single users on local
machines.
Using it in CodeCharge, in my oppinion, is only useful for demo purposes ...
And even then, the frustrations of using Access outweigh its demo benifits
in my oppionion. This is not CodeCharge's defect, it is Access's ...

david , I do only use Mysql , i was just trying to help eddie with my own
account of a similar problem,

i didnt try or want it to sound like a fault with codecharge or a problem
with access, but while we are on the subject, to be honest i do think its a
problem with the connection codecharge is making to the db , i think its
opening the access dbconnection in an exclusive mode and not a shared mode.

I know of many websites that successfully use access either through asp or
cfm connectons , and do not have locking problems , also when
I actually turn codecharge off , I can open multiple broswer connections to
a db no probs , so its got to be codecharge opening the access db exclusivly
that causes the problem. msaccess when it opens an mdb file has the option
to open files in shared or exclusive modes,

I can see why access is opened in this way , because codecharge needs to
know that the tables it opened at the start of a session are still going to
be there at the end of a session , but if it generates this error as a
result , maybe there should be a warning popup on publishing locally with
access in the source and published db selections that there is or could be
an error till you close codecharge

Very good points, however I still wouldnt use Access for anything multi-user
as any WWW app is intrinsically. But thats my personal professional
oppinion.
However ... isnt CodeCharge just using ODBC ? and not Access directly ?
Is there modes in ODBC to control this sharing behaviour of Access ?
I would *guess* there might be if this is a regression in CodeCharge.
I've been blissfull enough to be able to avoid coding in ODBC myself ...
(thats why we have CodeCharge to the rescue !!!)
