ok, do you know a good guide for beginners to build the template? I have dream weaver, and I fooled around with the MSAS and some mambo addon for the dreamweaver for an hour or so a long time ago. I soon after read that the guide I was reading was flawed. Do you by chance have the template you created?

I have the template however it belongs to my client so I cannot offer it here.
I have followed the below tutorial with some modifications..
http://www.mambosolutions.com/dw_tutorial/

For instance, I use Adobe Go live but primarily in making my templates, I use NOTEPAD. I will usually get it fairly set up and then upload the template to a test mambo install I have. I do not use MSAS or any other form of server testing environments on my local computer because it is not as time saving as I would like... Anyhow, once I get it online, I can tweak it there. Starting fresh using the tutorial above as a guideline only, you can come up with a fairly competent template.. keep in mind that the more templates you make, the better you get - my first template was horrendous by my current standards and I am in no way an expert template builder even now. Necessity has been my driving force...

Thank you! That simple piece of code helped me out too.

I do think that little things like these should be covered in tutorials. These problems are very common I think.
