Thanks for you help, as always Dave. I am always in admiration of your patience and helpful attitude whenever anyone asks a question. I dont think we say thanks enough.
So thanks! Anyway, the structure is referred to in the HELM control panel of this shared hosting as a subdomain. I dont much care what it is really - it acts like a subdomain whether it's called that or not, so that'll do me. Shard.adcalpo....<etc> behaves as though it's a domain of its own - the root of that site is inside a folder at wwwroot/shard. I guess what i need to do, is create a folder called CFIDE in the subdomain shard and put a copy of the classes and the form ajax scripts etc. The HELM control panel doesn't have the functionality to create virtual directories, so to create those involves a support ticket. I'd rather not do that if i can help it - so if each site or sub-site or virtual host has its own copy of the CFGRID in a folder called /CFIDE/classes, that should work, I hope. There is no point in creating a mapping because unless I'm mistaken, CF Creates a mapping called CFIDE when it installs doesn't it? So that will already be there.
