    Default ODBC datasource with Windows XP, SP2

    I am trying to connect an ODBC data source to my coldfusion mx7. I have been
    successful using Windows XP SP1 on another computer, but when I try the same
    connection in an Windows XP SP2, I get error message the "The specified data
    source is not defined". I know the data souce is defined because I can run
    other applications using it. Is there something about Windows SP2 that I
    should know about configuring ODBC drivers? Is there a differenct location for
    the datasource files for SP2?

    Thanks for any help or comments.

    Default Re: ODBC datasource with Windows XP, SP2

    On the computer laptop I was having the problem, XP Media Edition-SP2 was the
    operating system. I loaded the XPPRO -SP2 instead and got all to working OK
    now. I could not find in literature if this was acceptable operating system but
    I am back up and running and happy. :)
