Not for a while, from memory you just drop the three MS .jar's somewhere in CF's classpath and restart CF to install and creating datasources becomes a bit more dificult, I'll see if I can dig up an example for you.
I seem to remember that performance wasn't all that great, in fact, CF7's built in drivers were faster in most of my test cases. Sorry I haven't tried them on CF8. The MS drivers don't cause any issues with CF's built in drivers though so why not give it a try on your dev box?

We've run into some SQL server issues, where MS is saying "patch the driver". Has anyone used the MS SQL Server 2000 SP3 JDBC driver in place of the one shipped with CF8? Has it cleared up 8180 errors? Any performance gains/losses? Any "gotchas"? thanks sas -- -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer Office of Research Information Systems Research & Economic Development University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Phone:(919)843-2408 Fax: (919)962-3600 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310725 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
