ColdFusion Components (CFCs) are self-describing...that is, you can view the methods they expose, parameters they require, etc. via a web browser interface, using functionality built into CF. For example, to view the CF Admin API CFC, browse to:
http://YOURSERVER/cfide/adminapi/administrator.cfc You'll be prompted to authenticate - enter your CF Admin or RDS password, and you'll see what is available via that particular CFC. The same steps will work for the other Admin API CFCs, specifically: base.cfc datasource.cfc (the one you'll need for your programmatic manipulation of datasources) debugging.cfc eventgateway.cfc extensions.cfc mail.cfc runtime.cfc security.cfc Essentially, each group of functions available through the ColdFusion administrator is also available via the API, using the above CFCs (well, nearly all of them). For more info on the admin API and an example of programmatically manipulating a datasource (SQL Server in this case) via the API, check out: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001734.htm Same concepts work for Access, except you'll be using the setMSAccess (or setMSAccessUnicode) method instead of the setMSSQL method used in the example.
