Re: RE: CF and "Business Logic

[subs.halcrow]

I dunno...

I've done some pretty huge commercial sites with CF and heard no complaints...

In fact, I've just finished the largest of legal firms in the UK (and I mean, THE 
largest!)...they didn't complain - in fact, they were more than happy.

It's bound in with SQL Server 2K, but running fully functional over SSL and including 
almost anything you can name...then some :o)

I think there's some pretty big players in the CF market.  If your client doesn't 
sound "serious" enough, point him in the direction of a few clients already using CF.  
If that doesn't persuade him, I'd put him on hold and wait until he "smells the 
coffee"...

Si.
