If you're trying to get to a database that is on another computer than the server, then that 2nd computer needs to be linked via a mapped drive or the CF server machine needs an ODBC connection to the database.

Well, if you are using a shared file based database (like Access or FileMaker) then the database will indeed have to be on the ColdFusion server (or on any server that it has direct access to, which is essentially the same thing, and is generally an environment to be avoided). This question and answer is more relevant to client-server databases.

"The connectstring tag attribute is not supported in ColdFusion MX."
but there's a connStr textarea in the Data Source administrator advanced settings...
