Don't we all on Friday
But may I suggest that you (and everybody else with this habit) never 
reply to another message and then change the subject to ask a question? 
If you do that the "References" header still references the message in 
the other thread, and that means sorting mechanisms in email clients get 
messed up.

Not for ColdFusion Server itself.

What you need is up to your apps. Most apps connect to a database in 
some way or another. If that database is Access and you want to connect 
through ODBC you need the ODBC drivers (get the latest MDAC from 
Microsoft). If that database is Access and you want to connect through 
OLE DB you need an OLE DB provider (which can probably be obtained 
through Microsoft). If that database is Access and for some reason that 
is beyond my comprehension you want to connect through cfobject and the 
access.application object you do need Access installed.

Most setups using Access connect through ODBC (it is the no brains 
default) and if you require any other type of connection somebody has 
put a lot of work in that and would most certainly remember what is 
necessary for which reasons.
