"... you must give it a service name remember that because you will have to

Yes, I had Oracle 8 client software installed and have created a service name,
ABC. 

On the CF Settings page:
DSN: ABC
Host String: 127.0.0.1:1521
ColdFusion Login: ABCowner/******

I created ABCowner NT user account with Admin right. What else did I miss?

Regards,

Julia Phu
