Exactly Which Driver And Where Can I Find It ?

[Perry]

I just installed Macromedia's ColdFusion MX (no updates
added yet) onto my Windows XP Home system and of course
every tutorial available to it uses *.mdb databases (not
to mention I'll be making applications soon with some
businesses using real Access databases).
The problem is all my connections are failing. I've set
up the ColdFusion Admin properly and have checked it
about a zillion times with every book, link, and forum (I
guess nobody's ever seen my error message before) and I'm
still waiting for a reply from Macro about the specifics
of this message ('Unable to update the NT registry.
Variable DRIVERPATH undefined.') I realize I'm no expert
as this is my first dealing with manipulating databases,
but I really have tried just about everything and I'm at
my simple wit's end.
However I do know that although my Windows ODBC DSN panel
lists MS Access Driver, I am alerted to install it when I
click Configure. So maybe I need a Driver, but where
exactly can I get the one I need or which pack is it?
I'm a bit confused in the Microsoft site--doesn't really
say MS Access Driver anywhere.
Thank you for your kind assistance.

Silly question but, have you got MDAC installed? (v2.7 is the latest)

First, I'd subscribe to Macromedia's newsgroups:

forums.macromedia.com

specifically the newsgroup:

macromedia.coldfusion.database_access

I have ColdFusion MX working on my machine with all the samples. Have a look
at my ODBC entries here:
