There are many other ways to generate this error besides disabling the
datasource. For instance, access to the directory where the datasource
is kept could be changed, access to specific tables for the connecting
user could be changed, access to specific records could be changed.

There is a product called Access Command Line manager, it's open source,
and it allows you to lock (and unlock) records, tables, views and
databases in an Access 2000 database. It can be downloaded off
Sourceforge, Freshmeat or Download.com, I can't remember which. It does
all the evil things you want.

Subject: How to be evil?

If one wants to get a job done with paying.  Let's say, a parsing job,
to read a large text file, getting rid of noise, capture sets of data
and save them to a database.  And the environment is as follows: CF6.1
on Windows XP dev box, MM internal server and Access 2000.

And if "I" want to be the evil person (not to pay the bill for service):
I would
a) Set security under CF admin enabled and the "zyzds" datasource
disabled.

Result, the user would encounter the following error when executing the
parser
"
The following is the internal exception message: access denied
(coldfusion.sql.DataSourcePermission xyzds)
"

Other than the above a) anything else would allow "me" to be so evil to
generate the above error?

TIA
