Hi Mike,

Haven't tried it in MX 7 but in MX 6 you could do the following:

- copy the necessary jars (jaybird-full-2.1.0.jar and maybe more) to
\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib folder;
- restart ColdFusion;
- go to the ColdFusion Administrator;
- go to Datasources;
- fill in a Data Source Name, choose the Driver "other" and
click "Add";
- a new form appears, fill in JDBC URL, this is something like:
jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost:3050/<path-to-db>
- fill in the Driver Class: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver;
- fill in the Username and Password fields;
- click "Submit";
- check if it works by using the Verify button.

Done!

Since there are no big differences on this part in MX 7, I expect
this should work for you too.

Bye,
Ramon
