Connecting ColdFusion to SQL Server 2005 Express
UPDATE : Vincent’s site is now by invitation only. I have written my own solution and it can be found here.
Vincent McCurley just saved me a bunch of time. After spending a good part of 30 minutes trying to setup Coldfusion to hook up to a local instance of SQL Server 2005 Exress, a desparate Google search came up with his excellent tutorial - Vincent McCurley: Connecting ColdFusion to SQL Server 2005 Express. Worked like a charm! Now onto some Flex/CF goodness!
The link doesn’t work anymore:

I’m looking for the answer to exactly the same question.
Thanks!
I’m not invited to Vincent McCurley’s site either and don’t know how to be invited. And I’ve tried to hook up SQL Server 2005 Express several times and failed. I am using SQL Server 2000 which works fine but would prefer to not have to reinstall it every 120 days or stand without it one day… I also want to know which one of all different versions to pick, using it with Cold Fusion only. Ben Forta wrote on his blog how to install SQL Server 2005- not Express- but that may not be applicable to the Express edition.
