Yes, you can...
First you have to create a mapped network drive, like x:\ =
\\servername\sharepoint\
Then you can set up the datasource just as you would normally.
One pitfall is security. You may need to setup the ColdFusion services to
run as a user on your domain.

Subject: Configuring a Datasource on a Different Server
Is there a way to configure a datasource on another server other than the
one CF is running on? I tried \\servername\sharepoint\database.mdb but the
verification failed. The machine is another server in my NT domain. I'm
running CF 4.5.1 on NT 4 SP5 and IIS 4. Thanks.
