DSN-less code?

[wins1]

I am new to CF and am doing some hands on exercises on accessing an Access mdb
file using CFML. I have had to first set up a Datasource in the CF
Administrator before I can use <cfquery datasournce="db name">. Is there a way
to have a DSN-less coding in CF like what you have in ASP, without having to
set up the datasource in the Administrator? If so how is this done in
ColdFusion? Thanks.

Assuming MX7, short answer is no. Long answer is you can create one
on-the-fly, but it's not DSN-less. The DSN actually exists and can be seen
from the Administrator. For interrogating DB's I've attached some code I use
to continually overlay one I call dynDB. I suppose you could figure out how to
Delete it afterwards, but still strictly-speaking it's not DSN-less.

<!--- The gyrations here are insane.
When we login to the administrator the security cookie will be
changed and stop working. We have to temporarily change to a
fake session, let administrator do it's thing and then change
back. Fortunately none of the original Session values or
Session cookies are lost with this method.
