Hmmm, are you using the system user as the user CF service operates under? Or have you created a new user?
Ensure that the user has permissions on the database folder, it is also a good idea to ensure the db is not in a folder that is accessible to the web (ie: your inetpub/wwwroot or whatever dir structure you use). Yes it should be a system dsn. ~~ Stephenie Hamilton Macromedia Certified ColdFusion Professional CFXHosting -----Original Message----- From: Eric Vacin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 4:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Data source error Stephanie, I got it from the CF Admin...when I tried to do an ODBC socket to the data source I created in the ODBC panel. Below is the exact output: * Connection verification failed for data source: ss []java.sql.SQLException: SQLException occurred in JDBCPool while attempting to connect, please check your username, password, URL, and other connectivity info java.sql.SQLException: [MERANT][SequeLink JDBC Driver][SequeLink Server]Could not create a trace file.. I've added a system DSN...this is right, right? I'm starting to think its some kind of permissions thing as I have the server locked down, very locked down.
