>>In the server administrator? I don't see a datatype of excel? Aaaah this is the "pleasure" of working with JDBC! :-( I suppose you're under CFMX, under CF 5 all ODBC drivers were available, including Excel.
With CFMX, you need to first create an ODBC datasource on your Excel file from Windows. THEN you can create the JDBC datasource on that ODBC DSN in the CF Administrator using the ODBC socket. I think MM should have kept the ODBC connection creation tool in the administrator and connect the datasource automatically through the ODBC socket. Now, if you're uner Unix or Mac, that's even another story. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
