You probably need to install the MDAC. It's been awhile since I worked
with
Access (I use SQL Server now) but I remember something about MDAC
needing
to be up to date on the server for it to work. I'd run a search on
Microsoft's site
about MDAC and Access and see what you find.

Subject: newbie CF installation questions
I'm a graphic designer much more at home on my Mac than on my PC. I've
been trying to configure CFMX6.1 with DWMX for several days so that I
can use the Cartweaver Dreamweaver extension, but I keep running into
a roadblock:
When I try to set the datasource name, I designated the name of my
Access file, and designated Access as the driver. Then, when CF Admin
goes to the next screen, and I click "submit," I get this error
message:
"Unable to update the NT registry. Variable driverpath is undefined."
This has me stymied because I thought I'd specifed Access as the driver.
And here's a really stupid question: do I need to have Access installed
and/or running on the PC for this process to work? If so, will either
Microsoft Works database program which came installed with the PC or my
old copy of Access from an Office 97 package work with CF6.1.
Windows XP Home Edition on Pentium 4 Fujitsu laptop
thanks, Suz
