Nope. It's there. Try stopping and starting the CF service and checking connection again, if that doesn't work - I don't know what to tell ya.
Sorry. Maybe an MM guy would like to comment? -----Original Message----- From: Troy Simpson [mailto:Troy_Simpson@;ncsu.edu] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 12:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: M$Access DB and ColdFusionMX for Solaris I got back the following error when I was trying to create the M$ Access data source: Connection verification failed for data source: MSAccess []java.sql.SQLException: null The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException Is this a problem related to being unable to find the *.jar or *.class file for sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver? If so, what JAR file do I need in the ClassPath? I'm running ColdFusionMX on Sun Solaris 8 and Apache 2.0.40.
