I am trying to install a JDBC driver for MS SQL 2005 Express. I have been following this tech note. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=ded4216b&pss=rss_coldfusion_ded4216b.

It says in item 3 to "add the JAVA Classpath in CF Admin" I am not sure where that is in ColdFusionMX 6.1.

Add the sqljdbc.jar to the Java classpath:
For Server and Multiserver configurations:
Access the ColdFusion Administrator "Java and JVM" page.
Add the full path to the sqljdbc.jar to the Class Path field. For example, the default on Windows is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar on Windows platforms.
Click Submit Changes to update Java and JVM Settings for ColdFusion MX

I never used CF6, however, you could copy the jar file (or make a symbolic link) into the lib directory under ColdFusion. Should do the same thing. Not as neat as adding it into the classpath, but would get you by.
