Question

Coldfusion MX 7 Administrator

I've installed CF MX7 onto my Win7 Ult machine, and reached a point where I'm lost.

I am in the datasources setup screen (Data & Services > Datasources > Microsoft Access), and I have gotten this prompt:

     Unable to update the NT registry.

     Variable DRIVERPATH is undefined.

When I received the above message, I was adding a datasource called pd, a 2003 MS Access database. This is what I have:

(16-character limit)

I do not have any database system file, that I am aware of, which is for security.

I cannot go any further with adding pd to my listing.

Please help!

I forgot to include the following in the above submittance, as to "What I have done so far":

Database File = E:\databases\pd.mdb

I also am unable to edit my original post, whihc is why I had to reply to my own original post....

I look forward to someone who can help me with this "System Database File" choice.

I'm pretty sure the underlying Access requirements are not shipped on 64-bit Windows versions (you have tagged this ticket as 64-bit, so presume you have done this for a reason).

Google "microsoft access 64-bit" for details; google "microsoft access 64-bit coldfusion" for any of a number of discussions on the CF side of things.

I think, basically, it's time to upgrade your DBs from a desktop DB to a server DB.
