When you were creating the did you create the data source in the ColdFusion administrator?
Connecting to a data source with ODBC Socket In ColdFusion 5, an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) entry that was created with the ODBC Data Source Administrator would automatically show up in the list of data sources in the ColdFusion Administrator. It does not in ColdFusion MX; you must manually add the ODBC DSN entry. To manually add the ODBC DSN entry: 1. In the ColdFusion Administrator, select Data & Services > Data Sources. 2. In the Add New Data Source Name box, do the following: a. In the Data Source Name text box, enter the data source name. You can use the same name as the ODBC DSN entry. b. In the Driver drop-down list box, select ODBC Socket. c. Click Add. 3. In the ODBC DSN drop-down list box, select the ODBC DSN name. 4. Click Submit.
