You could try unlocking the database instead of shutting down the server.
Put something like this at the top of your application.cfm <!--- The site is temporarily down for maintenance. <cfset CFUSION_DBCONNECTIONS_FLUSH()> <cfabort> ---> Then just uncomment that whenever you want to work on your dbase. ______________________ steve oliver atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: loic jegouzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 10:15 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: direct acces to ms access without dns hello, i would like to make a direct link with an access database. this because when i have to modify my database i must stop the site with my host to update. i tried <cfquery datasource="c:\mypath\mydbname.mdb"> but i have an odbc error (the database is defined in cfserver) do you know wich is the good syntax ? lje ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
