Warning: I am in my second day learning how to use Dreamweaver and CF and don't know all the lingo yet...

I have followed every "tutorial" out there to try to set up a CF data source using Microsoft Access. (I have created a database with this program.)

In the MIcrosoft Access Connection window I type in the DAtabase file name, etc. and push OK. Then I get this message: Permission denied for the requested operation.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

The first one is that there are now TWO MS Access driver in ColdFusion.
Make sure you try both.

Second. When you say you 'type' the database file name, that is the
fully qualified path and file name, i.e.
C://someDir/someSubDir/someDB.mdf correct?

Thanks for your response. I tried connecting to the datasource using the CF online administrator and that worked. Before I was trying to do it through Dreamweaver.
