Dreamweaver and database connections

[Jon]

I've been hand coding my ASP database connections etc, but thought I'd take
a look a Dreamweavers' (MX) ability to write the code - it seems to have
almost over complicated the coding, lots of "if this" and "if that" !

Does anyone use this for writing their ASP (database connection) code? If
so are there any pitfalls to watch out for??

Mainly code bloat.

I just finished [url]http://www.aspfaq.com/2500[/url] earlier today, with a little bit
of my editorial on some of the editors available.

DON'T DO IT. The pitfalls are that if something doesn't work the way you
expect it to, it'll take you fifteen weeks to even figure out what the hell
that damn code is trying to do before you can begin to fix it. If you
already hand-code, continue to do so.

Another pitfall is that if you ever post any DW generated code here, you'll
most likely only get replies that say "Quit using Dreamweaver to write your
code." :]
