I have just inherrited(sp?) a problematic client from another person. They have a dsn setup for their database but I cannot find the database. Is there a tag or some way to get the database "path" without going through the server admin people?
The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked
 
You really do not need to know where it is on the server when you are coding if the DSN is setup properly. If you do not have CF Administrator nor access to it, you are pretty much out of luck. Another way is to look at the System DSN through the hosting server. Using Win2K/IIS this is easy, but again, only if you have the rights.
