Peter,
If I'm reading you right, you may be running into the same issue I had
earlier this week (SQL db on one machine, drive mapped to my computer,
couldn't get datasource to map or PWS to alias non-local location).
Here's Chris Lott's advice, which fixed me up nicely:
"Can't you map the datasource using its IP address? I don't know of any
way
to map the SQL Server db the way you wish to, which sounds like you are
trying to treat it as a file based database like Access. Choose the SQL
Server driver, in the connection
box use a host of xxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or the ip name, and then in the
advanced
properties set the db and username/password."
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
James~

Subject: Network Drives
I have a DB on another server here at work, that I cannot move to the
server
which has Cold Fusion on it. The only options I have for linking
databases
are from the local drives, and maping network drives doesn't give me
other
options. How can I link to a DB on a network server from my CF server?
Thanks,
Peter
