Does anyone know of a tutorial, that explains how to create an offline dynamic website? I want to use an access, or SQL database

When you say offline is this just for testing? As dynamic sites are not designed for offline viewing due to the server-side languages they use.

The more info you give us in your questions the better we can help you.

umm, i guess that yeah he means making it dynamic interactive offline for testing purpose, if i did understand you right, then you will need to use either IIS or PWS[Personal Web Server], me myself use the PWS, it is compatible with all win versions, you can download it free from the microsoft site, it is in the package of the NT4, but it will work with all win versions, and ofcourse no need to tell that u will need a program for designing those dynamic sites , preferred DreamWeaver Ultradev ofcourse... hope i did help ya....

NB: You will find a Step By Step tutorial in the dreamweaver UD help about configuring your PWS to run with UD and start viewing offline interactive dynamic sites, and also a URL for downloading the MS PWS can be founded in this tutorial.....

PWS is also included on your Windows disk <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you mean offline as without an internet connection just install personal web server PWS wich is located in your windows disc and define your site in dreamweaver ultradev, during the definition you will asingn a local/network path wich is usually in inetpub/wwwroot/your site folder (create this folder in your wwwroot directory before defining in ultradev)

if you want to run a test just go to your browser an ask for localhost/yourwebsitefolder/yourfile.asp
