adding a database

[J Long]

After 6 attempts, I finally got CF7 downloaded and installed without errors.
I've just started working through the 'Getting Started Experience Tutorial.' On
page 18, it says to 'Click the + in the Databases tab of the Applikcation panel
and select Microsoft Access with Unicode Connection.' I see the + sign in
Figure 28, but I don't see a + sign in my DW database tab. (DWMX 2004). Can
anyone set me straight on this? Thanks! Jim

I'm pretty sure that the +/- stuff is a mistake. I believe that there is a different button you click that takes you to the CFMX Administrator, which is where you define the data source.

Thanks, Randy. The tutorial explains two different ways to go about this. When
I couldn't get the first approach to work, I tried the second...and was able to
define the data source through the adminstrator. I've now moved on to
discovering other problems which I've already posted about. It seems to me that
this tutorial should have been tested a little more. Jim

You have to add the new DW extensions:
