I believe it is more complex then that. Yes you probably get 32bit ODBC drivers to *work* on your 64 bit windows, but they will only work with other 32 bit applications. I.E. using them may very well require you to use 32 bit IIS which would in turn require you to use 32 bit ColdFusion. So as said earlier, you may very well need to and probably should upgrade your databases. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338422 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
