Wizard if you are connecting through one of the desktop database ODBC drivers.

CAUSE Database functionality in FrontPage 2000 uses Active Server
Pages (ASP) to call ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). Not all of the ADO components
are installed on the server. This is the case if the server administrator
installs the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions and does not install the
FrontPage 2000 Client on the Web server or does not separately install MDAC
2.1. The installation of the FrontPage 2000 or Office 2000 client installs all
of the required database functionality. RESOLUTION There are two methods for the Web server administrator to
resolve this problem. For all supported Web servers running on Windows: Install Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1 or later
on the Web server. MDAC 2.1 can be downloaded from the following Web site: For all supported Web servers running on Windows x86 systems: Install the FrontPage 2000 or Office 2000 client on the
Web server.
STATUS This behavior is by design. The standalone FrontPage Server
Extensions installation does not install MDAC 2.1.This problem was corrected in MDAC
2.5.
MORE INFORMATION Note that FrontPage 2000 Database features work only on Web
servers running ASP.
