Hi Jimmy Wu & elewis93815

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Some of the tutorials in Web Assist pdf's are outdated, this may be alright for some who have a bit of knowledge about these things but for a newbie its just a massive road block.
One has MySql Query database or something similar but I don't see this on the MySql site.

I will try to provide a bit more information on my problem.

I have been asked to create a website for a small property company, I have a page design that I want to use, I need to have a property search on the page which would include something like minimum number of bedrooms, maximum number of bedrooms, minimum price range, maximum price range, property type & postcode etc.

When the results are returned the results page returns the correct properties with photos, description, price and a link to a dedicated page for a lager or more photos, longer description etc.

I also want the database to be updated by the company themselves, if possible.

I would also like to be able to check the site works on my own PC before uploading to the clients server.

I have Dreamweaver CS4, XAMPP installed and just downloaded mysql workbench, on XAMPP I have Apache & MySql running.

When I open my page with Dreamweaver and start Data Assist Wizard I see Step 1-10.

Database

Server Model is PHP
Connection - Property
Table - greyed out
Key Column - greyed out

Template

Name - Template
Editable Region - EditRegion2 - I don't see an EditRegion2 on the page

Pages

All greyed out

This is af far as I have got, propably need to create a table but how do you do that?

Hope this sheds some more light on this and you are able to point me in the right direction.
