That link tells you how to add data sources to CF with the admin API. The last step says: (Optional) To verify this data source later, click the verify icon in the Actions column. Note: To check the status of all data sources available to ColdFusion MX, click Verify All Connections. If there was a way to do it via the API they probably wouldn't tell you to go to the CF Administrator interface. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 11:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Testing Database Connection within Application There is a decent chance that the admin api functionality gives you access to the same thing that happens when you click the "verify data source" icon in CF Admin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
