Yes I've seen a similar error before. Mine was NaviCat could connect to the DB just fine, but CF would always say the DB could not be found or was not running. MOst people have easy success with the connector, but some of us just ran into brick walls.
This is why I use MS SQL Server and Oracle. The old debate about MS SQL Server being too expensive is dying now as it is dirt cheap...especially for all you get. Heck more than a day worth of problems with mySQL pays for MS SQL Server given my hourly rate ;-) Oracle of course is still bleeding expensive IMHO, but if the client wants it they get it. I think mySQL is getting much better and I did enjoy using NaviCat withg mySQL 4, but the headaches just aren't worth it to me personally. Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
