Can you have a System DSN created for you on server by Sys Admins and create a ODBC connection to it through CF Admin.
Another Question - Why are you using EXCEL, WHY NOT ACCESS at least better than the former.. Thanks. -Sandeep S Vohra -----Original Message----- From: John Ahlen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 10:52 PM To: CF-Newbie Subject: Securing a CSV file Hello, Currently working on an application that uses a csv file for the login DB. The directory structure on a Windows server is: root/directory1/directory2/login/db/db.csv I'm using <cflogin> as taken from Forta's "Coldfusion MX7 web application construction kit". I've got ForceUserLogin.cfm and UserLoginForm.cfm in the login directory. The primary Application.cfc sits in directory 1 and the rest of the application sits in directory2. The flash login works fine using cfhttp to reference it from ForceUserLogin.cfm. Problem is that if I enter http://directory1/directory2/login/db/db.csv in a browser, the csv is there for the world to see. In the db directory I put an Application.cfc that extends from the base Application.cfc. This has an onRequestStart function with a <cflocation> tag that should send the browser to a public file in another directory. This doesn't work. Due to convenience, I would like to keep the csv file above the root directory -- I'm not the systems admin, so I don't have access there to upload a daily update of the csv file. Any suggestions as to how I can secure the csv file? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. jahlen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
