I believe I ran into a problem like this already. Please keep in mind that drivers created through the CF Admin writes driver information into registry into 2 places:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\DataSources\' driver name'] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\'driver name'] where ODBC created through the ODBC sources in Control Panel are written only in one place: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\'driver name'] If you now for example create driver through the CF Admin and then delete it from ODBC sources in Control Panel then you will exactly create your problem because the Windows will not take care (delete) of CF entry in registry. The problem might as well occur in cases when you were trying to delete ODBC driver through the CF Admin and process were canceled (for any reason) somewhere in the middle so the registry entry for the driver still exist. Solution: 1.) Make sure that driver is deleted (if not delete it/ both places ODBC Sources and CF Admin). 2.) Go into registry and search for both places (keys described above) for your driver; if any exist delete them; (please export (back up) any key before doing any changes into registry especially if you don't know what you're doing). 3.) Go to CF Admin and recreate you're driver. Now you should be ready to go. Rastislav Toscak Senior Applications Developer Computer Horizons Corp.
