SQL Server 2000 Installation Problem

Earlier today, I installed an evaluation copy of MS SQL 2000. After the installation completed, I copied two old database files from MS SQL 7. To get MSL2000 to register the database, I ran the sp_attach_db stored procedure. After which I ran the sp_updatestats stored procedure as they suggested. The database looks good in the Enterprise Manager -- the tables are present -- the data values look appropriate.

Having my database performing, I proceeded with the ColdFusion setup. I first set up the ODBC datasource definitions in MS Windows NT 4.0 and the ColdFusion Administrator. The connection verifies in both the operating system and ColdFusion Administrator.

When I run the ColdFusion application program I get the following error message. "Invalid Object Name 'Config'" In an effort to debug it, I ran a utility program through ColdFusion. myDescribeAll.cfm uses the information_schema tables to provide the description of all my tables. This displays only the system tables such as TABLE_CONSTRAINTS, TABLE_PRIVILEGES, COLUMNS, DOMAINS... None of my tables are displayed. Obviously, if it does not acknowledge my tables, it will tell me that the config table is an invalid object.

There must be a configuration problem, or a privileges problem working against me here. Any ideas, guys and girls?
 
Are you pointing to the new server your new SS2K installation now lives?

Thanks

I went back to the Operating System and made the ODBC specification again. This time it worked. Must have been a cockpit error the first time. Thanks anyway.
