DW8 Adding a period before table name under Application Connection

[CMcC]

Hi all -
Pretty new to the dreamweaver and coldfusion scene and am using the Dreamweaver 8 suite. I created a connection to my VFP tables (adlookup.dbf) under C:\ via ODBC system DSN. In the Coldfusion Administrator I can verify all connections and it says OK.
Then I see if Dreamweaver added the database and it did...
However, when I expand the data under 'Tables' it shows me the VFP tables but it prefixes the table name with a period.

c:.adlookup

When I select view data, it tells me that the file '.adlookup' does not exist. Can anyone tell me why it prefixes with a period?
I made sure that the CASE was the same - all lower case and the extension is also lowercase.
All suggestions are appreciated.

So far I am working around this problem by dragging the table name into the main page window to make a recordset and then modifying the query to remove the period and anything else I need to do to let the query work. If you do this, make sure you use the test button.

Hi LordBagel - when you say:
"dragging the table name into the main page window to make a recordset and then modifying the query to remove the period and anything else" - how do you drag the table into the main window? Not sure what you mean exactly, since I use the coldfusion admin to create the connection - the table name isnt visible from the DM interface, only the connection created.
THanks for your response...
