SYMPTOMS
When you publish a Web site that contains a database region that is located in a subweb, the database region fails with the following error message:

Database Results Error The database connection named 'database' is undefined.

This problem can occur if:
 * the connection has been removed from the web
 * the file 'global.asa' is missing or contains errors
 * the root folder does not have Scripting permissions enabled
 * the web is not marked as an Application Root



CAUSE
When a subweb is published to an IIS computer, FrontPage creates the subweb as an application root. This causes a problem for the ASP page because the Global.asa file is in the wrong place based on the application settings.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior do the following:
 * 1) Click Start and point to Programs.
 * 2) Point to Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack and then point to Microsoft Internet Information Server.
 * 3) Click Internet Service Manager.
 * 4) Click the plus sign (+) next to the Web site in question and expand the folders until you get to the subweb containing the ASP page that references the database.
 * 5) Right-click the subweb and click Properties.
 * 6) On the Directory tab, click the Remove button in the Application Settings.
 * 7) Click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
