Actually, you do see an error when the DSN isn't setup. It looks kinda like this:
Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file '(unknown)'.
Hint: The cause of this error is usually either (1) You have used an incorrect data
source name, or (2) You have changed the location of your data source either by moving
it or renaming one of its parent directories. After moving a data source make sure you
update its attributes using the ColdFusion Administrator.
