Hi Frank,

No problem - although like I say I have never used godaddy so I'm shooting
in the dark here.

But - you shouldn't need to do all that - that code is ASP not CF. If you
enabled access support, and uploaded your mdb file to the access_db folder
that was created, then you just need to follow the instructions here

http://help.godaddy.com/article/975

Putting the name of the .mdb file in the database file information field.

That should set you up with a cf datasource, which you can then use in your
cfqueries. 

Assuming you've done that, if you try querying that datasource, are you
getting an error message or something.

Cheers 

Will

Subject: Re: Godaddy and Coldfusion Dbs Issues

Hey Will, Thanks for answering...I have access enabled on the hosting
account, and I also have the coldfusion installed... I followed the
Help.godaddy.com articles, I don't know how to set up the DSN, I created one
Called Hunters, which has the same name as the database I already had (The
one I uploaded from my machine), but I don't know how to connect them.

I found this code on article http://help.godaddy.com/article/259:

<%
Dim oConn, oRs
Dim qry, connectstr, sDSNDir
Dim db_name, db_username, db_userpassword Dim db_server, dsn_name

dsn_name = "your_dsn_name"
fieldname = "your_fieldname"
tablename = "your_tablename"

sDSNDir = Server.MapPath("_dsn")

connectstr = "filedsn=" & sDSNDir & "/" & dsn_name

Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open connectstr
qry = "SELECT * FROM " & tablename

Set oRS = oConn.Execute(qry)

if not oRS.EOF then
while not oRS.EOF
response.write ucase(fieldname) & ": " & oRs.Fields(fieldname) & " "
oRS.movenext
wend
oRS.close
end if

Set oRs = nothing
Set oConn = nothing

%>

Like I said before I'm new with coldfusion, so this quite confuses me.

Thanks for the help.
