Data Source & Duplicate Names

[SharondelaRey]

Hello! Please help. I?m working through a tutorial
?cfmx61_getting_started.pdf? taken from the Macromedia site.
I?ve successfully set up my first Data Source ?CompassTravel?. The tutorial
says to set up another Data Source with the same name to ?define the sample
PointBase database file? (pg40).
When I do this I get this error message:
"Trying to create a datasource with a name that is the same as an existing
datasource.
Please enter in a unique datasource name, or edit the existing datasource."

Anyone got any ideas why this is happening please?

Thanks!

Hi,

The docs state:
"Perform one of the following procedures. The Microsoft Access procedure is
for Windows users.
The PointBase procedure is for UNIX and Macintosh OS X users."
So, if you have already set up the CompassTravel dsn for CompassTravel.mdb,
skip to the next section "Enabling Debugging Options"
Do not run through the PointBase procedure unless you're on Unix.

Thank you Elishia.

Murphy's Law... I worked that out right after I posted!
