My suggestion is to remove the db, remove the datasource, replace the db
file with a recently "repaired and Compacted' version and recreate the
datasource. This has worked for us before.

Subject: Cannot open database


All of a sudden we're getting this error when ColdFusion tries to access any
of
our Access 97 databases:

ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error)

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot open database '(unknown)'.
It
may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be
corrupt.

I'm still waiting for word from our sysadmin, but as far I know nothing has
changed on the server (regarding the location or permissions of the
database).
I've downloaded the database files and used Access to 'repair' them, re-
uploaded them, and the problem remains.  I can even query the databases from
CF
Studio, but not through ColdFusion pages.

Does anyone have any suggestions? (Yes I know--ditch Access.  Anything
besides
that?)

Thanks,

  Owen
