Re: creating database connection without administrator

["ksmith" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can code a template to create a datasource using the adminAPI. The examples 
do just that. View the MSSQL example on this 
page,http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=basiconfi
g_37.html.

 However, you might just want to fix you CFAdmin.  Got to a working CFMX7 
server of the same version.  Zip up all of CFIDE (usually under wwwroot of 
cfusion or your docroot).  Delete the 'broken' one on your server. Unzip the 
CFIDE zip to replace.
