CF administrator doesn't read network drives even if they are mapped locally.

(sorry, but I might not be using the correct terminology). \\othercomputer\c$ is mapped to j: locally(cfserver). So the cfserver would have a mapped drive, j:, which is actually c: on the other computer. Can someone verify this is the proper way to accomplish what Steve is trying to do? I searched the macromedia forums but couldn't find it. I could have sworn I saw this somewhere though. I'll try locally and email shortly. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Dworman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 4:15 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: access odbc connection CF will only read local drives. I'm positive you have to use the UNC path. -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Matthew P -CONT(DYN) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 5:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: access odbc connection I believe you have to map the drive rather than use a unc.

We need to connect to an access database that resides on another server. I know to use the UNC path, and to make sure the ColdFusion service has rights to open the database on the other machine. There is no username and password for the database. The issue is that CF cannot verify the data source. I can set it up in Windows 2000 server and I can connect to it using SQLCon32. What else do I need to do in order to make CF verify the connection?
