Re: CF 4.5 MS Access Data Source Name

[Ian Skinner]

Now that I wake up a bit and realize that this 4.5 server I am looking 
it is a Unix box.  I probably figured out why I am not seeing the built 
in Microsoft Access database driver as well as that no matter how much 
access I have to the box, I am unlikely to find a Microsoft ODBC 
administration tool.

CF 4.5 MS Access Data Source Name

[Ian Skinner]

Flash from the past.  On a CF 4.5 (Hopefully soon to be replaced) server 
does one need to do something special to set up an Access data source 
name?  I'm looking at the "data sources" panels in the Administrator and 
I do not see any options for Access.  I see Merant drives for 
dBase/FoxPro, IBM DB2/6000 Informix 7.x/9/x, Sybase 11, OpenIngres 1.s, 
OpenIngres 2.x Oracle 7, Oracle 8, Text and MS SQL Server. 

It have been a very long time since I have had to work with this version 
and I do not recall what has to be done to create a DSN.  Is it 
mandatory to create a Windows ODBC entry first.  I am hoping not, since 
I do not have access to the box, just to CF administrator through from a 
remote client browser session.
