Well, now I'm doubly mystified. I ran the MSDE install off my Office XP CD. Of course there was no enterprise manager, so my next step was to install a datasource in Win's ODBC applet. The wizard gave no file paths to specify... just a server name. After securing the sa acct and making a tweak in CF Admin (to use a trusted connection as its a dev box) I was able to create tables and insert/update/delete in them via CF. Tried searching for .mdf's, and only got the defaults I mentioned earlier, whose file times are stuck at my install time. Same with a dir *.mdf /s in a cmd window. Any ideas? Obviously I'm clueless. ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
