I am assuming the data connectivity component is installed on the CF server. What do you mean: set up a Windows ODBC connection (where?), and use ColdFusion’s ODBC socket driver to connect to the Windows ODBC connection (when?). I am new to this.

Considering it's just a pass-through socket, I'd imagine it would support Unicode if the target datasource supported Unicode. But I have not tried or tested this. Good question.

I'm not using Unicode anyway on these databases, and I really don't want to use the ODBC Sockets. I'll give this a shot soon. Oğuz, THANK YOU for that.

- Select “other” for DSN in CF admin,
- JDBC URL: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=c:/od/test.accdb;”;
- Driver Class: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

But this config does not support Unicode as expected. :(
