CF Server 4.5 cannot see Netware drive

[neo74]

Hi all!

I have this frustrating problem with the CF Server 4.5

It's running on WinNT Server 4.0.

I'm trying to use the CF Administrator to add an ODBC data source.

When I click the Browse button, it only lists out the server's local drives. All Netware network drives could not be seen. Our databases are on the Netware network drives.

The puzzling thing is the Netware drives will show up fine on the WinNT Explorer.

I'm at my wits end here and I've tried everything I know.

Help me please...

Thanks in advance for your help.

It's not something I've come across before, but instead of browsing for the ODBC datasource, have you tried typing in the path manually?

eg. z:\network\databases\mydatabase.mdb

After I manually typed in the path:

\\eng_srv\sys3\eng_data

the CF Administrator successfully verified the data source.

But when I use the database tab in CF Studio 4.5 to look at the tables, it says that there are no tables in that data source.

There are approximately 40 Foxpro DBFs in that path.

It's weird...

Do you have ideas?

Thanks again for your help.

Have you tried running a coldfusion sql query against the datasource - it could just be studio having difficulties with the tables....
