I came across a problem today which I couldn’t figure out for the life of me. Finally after doing a few things that I didn’t need to, including uninstalling CF 5 and moving MX within IIS, I finally figured it out. I also submitted this little gem to Macromedia as well.

As for what I was doing when I ran across it, I was using the “Application” tab in Dreamweaver MX in hopes of creating a quick and dirty data insert form. Every time I got to the”Specify the RDS Login…” step of being able to use dynamic data, it kept hanging after I’d enter in the correct CF Administrator password while it was trying to connect… if I hit cancel it would give me a 404 error about not being able to find a file in the _mmServerScripts directory, even though everything was working correctly.

After all kinds of troubleshooting, I found that I had datasources in the ColdFusion Administrator which did not work anymore, and I removed them. Once I did that, everything started working fine again. This happened both in Dreamweaver MX, and Dreamweaver MX 2004.
