Its all in the top folder now and even though its win box I did the
Application.cfm rename for good measure. Still getting the same error
though.

Here is an example of the useage:
<cfquery name="getUser" datasource="#APPLICATION.DataSource#">
from authenticator.cfc

and in Application.cfm is the line
<cfset DataSource = "dbname">

This needs to be:
<cfset application.DataSource = "dbname">

And you need to make sure you have an appropriate <CFAPPLICATION> tag in Application.cfm

Just read through the doco on "application" variables -- it is *NOT* a scope that is peculiar to Application.cfm *ALL* shared memory scope variables in SF must be scoped at all times (ie. application/session).
