"The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed."

In the coldfusion administrator I get "The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed."  message when I open an existing ODBC datasource. However when I look at the service running on my machine both the Coldfusion 8 ODBC Agent aswell as the Coldfusion 8 ODBC Server services are running!

Configuration:

- Windows Vista Home Edition

- Coldfusion 8,0,0,176276

- Apache 2.2

- ODBC System DSN: Virio Incidents, which points to a local excel file on my system

It used to work fine and as any good user I haven't changed anything :-). So has any one any ideas what is going on?

Regards,

Mike

    Try the technote, "Manual installation of the ODBC Services (ColdFusion 8)".

    Also, this was a known bug in ColdFusion 8.0.0, and there are many others that have been fixed in 8.01 and its cumulative hotfixes.

    You might consider upgrading as some point (http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html#cf8).
