ERROR! variable: totalRows_WADA error - repeatedly.

i am getting "variable: totalRows_WADA*" error on any results page created with dataassist, where the * is the name of recordset - "variable: totalRows_WADAproducts," for example. i have tried many times and many remedies:
i have uninstalled and re installed databridge, deleted win cache file, deleted configuration folder, in every order and combination thinkable.
i did not make any changes prior to this that may have caused error.
i tried different presets within dataassist - create pages - all with same result. (the error did not appear only when Search was not included.)
i read a post where the answer was to move the recordset code to BEFORE the code that uses the variable - and that result is when viewed in Live View, the error is gone, BUT - all the relevant server behaviors still have red exclamation point, and the behaviors nor the bindings panels, still dont think there is a recordset. and, even if that solution were usable, the problem is still created every time i attempt.

I hope you can help me out, this has been very exhausting and frustrating.
i have windows 8.1, dreamweaver CC, newest install Databridge.

So it seems after i have tested this error and tried so many different scenarios, that the broken code is created when there is not a search page included. and the results page is always broken, and shuffling the recordset code does not fix it.

attached is an example of this, where i pasted the rs code earlier, but yet, still get many red exclamations (see the image.)

thanks in advance,
