The system account is a special account that most services run under. It
has special permissions for files, etc, and I believe you cannot log on as
system. You can add or remove the permissions for system, but I wouldn't
recommend removing any unless you know what you're doing.

Sure.
Open up the Services applet in the Control Panel. Click on the ColdFusion
Application Server, then Startup.
Look at the "Log On As" options. The simplest way to solve this problem is
to make sure that you're using the System Account.
Do the same for the other ColdFusion services: Executive & RDS.
Now I'm assuming that the DSN you're trying to hook up is for an Access
database. Find that MDB file on the server and check it's permissions by
right-clicking on it, choosing properties, then security, then permissions.
If you used the SYSTEM account for the services, then it won't matter what
permissions are applied here, but if you used any other account, make sure
that same account has full control of the MDB file.
Hopefully this helps. Basically, to sum it all up, don't screw with the
account settings unless you understand Windows NT security!
