i checked and i have the access database drivers listed in my datasources.
i've also installed MDAC 2.8. i also waited until the gr of CFMX7 came out and
i'm still having the same problem. i tried unstalling and re-installing both
IIS and CF.

now, i'm totally suck. =\ same error as above.

what's more is i tried to open the database in access and i get the following
error message:

Opening "C:\Intepub\wwwroot\CFIDE\gettingstarted\extranet\ db\artgallery.mdb"

Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation?



i choose open and then i try and open a table and when i double-click on it it
just gives a warning message that says "unkown" and i press ok to that and i'm
back the table list. after about 10 seconds access closes itself.
