The Order Database Properties screen allows you to configure the properties of your order database. These properties are used through the ordering and checkout process for your Web site.
What does this do? The first prompt on this Web wizard screen is for the FrontPage database connection name for your Web site to the order database. We suggest you use the default name "SalesCart1". The FrontPage Database Connection Name uses the same mechanism FrontPage uses for specifying a database connection. For advanced users, this connection will be made directly to the order database named shop.mdb created by SalesCart in the /fpdb folder. This will be a DSN-less connection and will be relatively defined in the global.asa file and the exact path to the database will be changeable within FrontPage.
Default? SalesCart1
What does this do? Leave the default username for the database blank and leave the password field blank. These fields are necessary only if you intend to protect your database with a username and password. The database that comes by default is not password protected, so filling out these fields will keep SalesCart from working unless they are added and changed to the database. This is an additional level of security provided for in SalesCart that you can use to protect your database orders. You can always rerun the wizard if you wish to change these values later. Refer to Access documentation for more information on protecting your database with a name and password.
Default? Both Blank
Security Warning: Using a username and password on your order database only secures the database if someone inadvertently finds a way to download it. However, you should be aware that the username and password required to access this database afford only mild security because they are both stored un-encrypted in the global.asa file. For this reason, the method is typically not recommended.
Otherwise, if your order database requires a username or password to access it, enter those values now.
When you have completed entering all of the Order Database Properties, click Next.
