Data source problems

Unable to add a Microsoft Access data source
Problem:
When you try to add a Microsoft Access data source, the following error appears:
Unable to update the ColdFusion MX 7 ODBC Server.

C:\blackstone\db\slserver54\admin\swcla.exe
Solution:
Install and start up the ODBC service, or use the Microsoft Access with Unicode driver.
Unable to use a data source created with UnixODBC
Problem:
You cannot use a data source created with UnixODBC in ColdFusion MX 7.
Solution: You can use a driver such as the InterClient JDBC driver for InterBase available from
Borland (www.borland.com/interbase/). Follow the documentation for setting up a data source
using a third-party JDBC driver,
on page 61, in conjunction with the InterClient documentation.
