Is there anywy to have a dsnless connection for ALLAIRE COLDFUSION? I have seen a couple scripts out there but when i try them it errors on me.

With ASP this is easy but can someone please point me in the right direction for this?


All help is appreciated

cf 5 (i think) only mx doesn't have the ability.

The version i have is 4.0 i think. The only thing my host told me is that it was Coldfusion ALLAIRE and i don't know how to find out other than that. I do know for sure that it is not 5.0 and mx though.
 
it's only available in CF 5. just looked it up. if your hosting company is still running 4 they're now 3 versions behind. if they dont have any intentions of upgrading its time to find a new hosting service. However you'll still have to set up a dsn. Some hosts have a control panel that you can add it yourself or you'll have to have the hosting company do it over email or phone.
