>I am trying to set up a datasource using JDBC instead of ODBC with CF8. 

Why not just use the built in jdbc drivers?  On the datasource page, select "MS 
SQL Server" from the driver list and enter the settings for your database.  
Here is an example. Your settings may differ:

Server:     127.0.0.1 
Port:       1433  (** default)
Database:   MyTestDatabaseName
User:       mySQLServerUserName
Password:   mySQLServerPassword

>I have downloaded and installed the sqljdbc.jar and placed it in
>C:\ColdFusion8\lib  (This is a localhost/test server)


I am using the MS SQL 2005 driver on a test machine. Here are my settings. (Be 
aware the driver class _is_ case sensitive)

JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=MyDatabaseName
Driver Class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Driver Name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
User name:  mySQLServerUserName
Password:  mySQLServerPassword
