ODBC Data Source on Mapped Drive

[HKVan1]

We are working on a new web server with CFMX6.1.
I am having problems creating an ODBC datasource to an Access database on a
network drive. I have mapped the drive on the web server, but cannot get it to
verify in the CF Administrator.

My other server is CF 4.5, and it is working there. Any suggestions on how I
get this to work with my CF MX server?

Thanks,
H

This is usually a permission issue between the Access file on the mapped drive,
and the "owner" of ColdFusion on the CF server. ColdFusion is usually installed
under the "admin" user on the server, which has no permissions on the Access
database file on the other machine. There have been numerous posts in the past
on this forum explaining how to deal with this (change ownership of CF to a
user that has privileges on the Access file, etc.) so you should be able to
search for one that fits your particular situation.
