If you're using CFMX on Unix (btw, which flavor because I'm guessing you're at another gov't facility and if Solaris, you may run itno the same problems I've been with 'nobody'?) you just specify the type of database and the proxy port number to connect to. It does the rest. I haven't connected MX to Oracle 7.3 yet, but I've connected 5.0 to it in the past without a problem. Get it installed and peek at the Administrator datasource setup to see what I mean. There's no 3rd party connector involved (or ODBC config).
