Dreamweaver Nightmare

In Windows XP, doing the tutorial of Dreamweaver UltraDev 4, I'm creating a simple Access database search/results page set...following the ASP tutorial option. The search page does fine. A test shows the connection to the database is OK. But in the results page, I can't get a connection. I keep getting a message "Unable to retrieve tables from this connection, click on the Define...button to test this connection." I then get a javascript error, since there's no table to access.
I've converted the tutorial database to Access 2000. I've checked the DSN file stuff a hundred times, and fiddled with a bunch of possibilities. Is there perhaps some incompatibility between XP and Dreamweaver UltraDev 4?
Any ideas or help greatly appreciated.

I use Netscape Navigator rather than Internet Explorer. I don't have IE installed. I went into Navigator > Preferences and found Java was enabled. I disabled it for a time, surfed the web and got into Dreamweaver. Nothing seemed to be different. Then I enabled it again, got back into Dreamweaver. Again, no change.
Don't know what to try next.
