I have two MySQL databases on different URL's and I would like to share data between each DB, however I understand you can no longer do DSNless connections with CF anymore.

What are my options for sharing data from two DB with CF MX?

(I am trying to get around duplicating data in two DB's)

 
you should be able to set up the dsn in the cf administrator using the same information you use to make the dsnless connection. From there you can do the same db functions you were doing before.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunity I am on a shared hosting enivornment and can't get access to the CF Administration area.
 
can't your administrator create the dsn's for you? I create them for my customers when they are needed... That's what they get paid to do.
