Creating a ColdFusion data source

Create a ColdFusion data source called connTrio in ColdFusion Administrator pointing to the sample database file.

To create a ColdFusion data source:

1. In Dreamweaver, open a ColdFusion page.
2. In the Databases panel (Window > Databases), click the Modify Data Sources button.

   ColdFusion Administrator opens in a browser.

3. Log in to ColdFusion Administrator and create a data source called connTrio, using the Microsoft Access driver, pointing to the trio.mdb database file.

   If ColdFusion is running on your local computer and you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, create a data source that points to the database file in the following folder:

   C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Samples\Database\trio.mdb

   If ColdFusion is running on a remote computer, create a data source that points to the database file you placed on the remote computer in Setting up the database (server on remote computer).

   For more information, see the ColdFusion documentation in Dreamweaver (Help > Using ColdFusion).

After creating the ColdFusion data source, connect to the database in Dreamweaver. (See Connecting to the database.)
