Come to think of it, I have never set up a DSN for a text file. I guess it
all depends on how much interaction you are doing with the file -- if it is
small enough, then I believe that cffile would be sufficient. If you are
reading and writing back to it, the file is fairly large,have a number of
users, etc, then perhaps a DSN would be better. Maybe someone else on the
list has some more experienced information.
