RE: Debugging an undefined DB
Actually, you do see an error when the DSN isn't setup. It looks kinda like this: Error Diagnostic Information ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file '(unknown)'. Hint: The cause of this error is usually either (1) You have used an incorrect data source name, or (2) You have changed the location of your data source either by moving it or renaming one of its parent directories. After moving a data source make sure you update its attributes using the ColdFusion Administrator. -- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Efax.com Fax: (801) 730-7289 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -- -Original Message- From: Gene Kraybill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 15, 2000 10:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Debugging an undefined DB Why doesn't an attempt to access an undefined DB produce a CF error?

Re: Debugging an undefined DB
You might be experiencing the "comment" bug in your code. If you did not complete the cf comment tags, nothing below the faulty comment tag will be executed. It has happend to me quite a few time. =) Xing From: Gene Kraybill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:55:10 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Debugging an undefined DB Why doesn't an attempt to access an undefined DB produce a CF error?
