Correct, in theory. If you can use Instant Web Publishing to see data in the
databases, then you know that (a) the databases are open and (b) Lasso is
running and (c) Lasso can see and talk to the databases. Used to be, that
was all you prayed for. Nowadays, however, there's an additional level of
complication: Dreamweaver needs to be able to talk to Lasso. I don't really
have a clue what's involved here, but obviously it's fairly tricky.

These things are for a Higher Power to understand, I'm afraid. Your
FileMaker database could be corrupt (rare, but it happens). But you may just
be experiencing the same thing that's been going around -- bugs in the
Config Wizard.

I will say that I myself have had no problems with either FileMaker or 4D
databases since downloading the latest service pack or hot fix or whatever
it is (the latest version) of Lasso Studio for Dreamweaver. If you don't
have the latest version, I'd suggest that you download and install it.

If you *do* succeed in creating a snapshot file, stop what you're doing and
rename it immediately. After that, you will only need to load that file in
the future. It provides all the info that Lasso Studio for Dreamweaver needs
to work and you won't have to have either Lasso or FileMaker running to work
in Dreamweaver (although of course you'll need to have them running to test
your pages...).
