Pete, This sounds like a file permissions issue. CF admin still uses a java file browser to view the file system. If it cannot gain access to the file system, you get this error. There is also a setting in the Admin to allow this feature or not (I don't remember where or what it is called), which if turned off, you will also get this error. More than likely Vista has locked down the permissions on the folder though.
However, this has no affect on the use of the datasourse. All you need to do is copy the path from Windows Explorer and paste it into the path field in the datasource setup. The connection should work just fine. Hope this helps, Dean On 6/23/07, Peter Tanswell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there > > Yes - the access file I was trying to browse to was in the folder: > > c:/inetpub/wwwroot/contactmanager/database/contacts.mdb > > I can browse everything on the computer using search on vista > > What account is the ColdFusion server running as?
