As long as the server can talk to the SQL Server on the other end of the ISDN, then there should be no reason why not I would need a static IP address and have the user setup for the CF to talk to, but as long as you've got those, there should be no reason why not If you can pcAnywhere to the server, then check to see if you can ping the remote machine, if so, see if you can get a port-scanning piece of software and check to make sure port 1433 is open to you If you can do all of that, then there's no reason why you can't make an ODBC connection Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
