Hi,
How can I connect an XLR microphone to my computer to use with Adobe
Audition? I have a Creative 2ZS Platinum Pro soundcard with a 1/4"
jack, but no XLR in capabilities. Are there other microphone options
available? I'd like to be able to record a sax, trumpet, drum kit, and
acoustic bass into Adobe Audition. Should I get a mixing board and then
connect that to the 1/4" microphone imput on the soundcard? I
appreciate your help.

Yes. And connect it to Line In of your soundcard, not Mic In.

If you're going into multi-microphone recording seriously, this might
be the right time to ditch the Creative soundcard (which is a
top-of-the-range consumer toy) in favour of a multi-channel card.
There's a wide choice available, some with microphone preamps
included, avoiding the need for a separate mixer. Here's one place to
start looking:
