Re: MS word HTML page with a picture
DirectLoad does all this for you and more http://www.flymicro.com/cf/directload As for file naming, it names all the associated files my_file_image_001.jpg etc. and puts them by default in the same directory as the html file. This may not be very tidy but it does mean there can't be conflicts with similarly named files in another directory and a common images/ directory. David Green wrote: Hello list, Thanks all for the good material on this list! I am not sure how to ask this question. Is there a way to control the relative calling directory information when using cfinclude? I know questions does not make sense My problem is am including pages that are created in word and saved to HTML then uploaded by a user to a user defined directory structure on the server. I then use cfdirectory and cfinclude to make pages with links and display the pages with footers and back grounds ect. This all works great for pages without a pictures user is able to build and control there site with just word and some file management. Till they add a picture to the document created in word A page created/saved by MS word as HTML that includes a picture looks for a sub directory of (WebPageName_files) in the directory that the MS word page is in.My problem is that because am using cfinclude I am not in the directory that the MS word page is in so my relative directory path is not what was created by the word when the document was saved. The path to the image in the document created word will be something like ./tour/testpage_files/picture.jpg but because of the cfinclude am not in the directory with a subdirectory of tour. Am in the directory with my cfm pages (/webname/cf_pages ) and the page is looking here for the subdirectory of tour and the path to the image. Editing the path in the word after saving it html document is not an option.My user would not a clue on how to edit the code. So my question has anybody done something like this using word and cfinclude and how did you handle the file paths created by word? I am guessing some how I need to create a web page dynamically in the directory that the word doc is in and call it directly with maybe a cflocation or java script?

Re: SELECT MAX(ID), Access SQL Server - confused!
Why not carry on using AUTONUMBER, and convert that field to IDENTITY if upsizing? Ordinarily I'd say that was what you should do (see below) The trouble comes in when you have to pull the number out again, You mean if you're doing SELECT MAX(ID) *after* an INSERT, to get the ID that's just been created, instead of creating a new ID *before* the INSERT for 'manual' numbering of the PK? Couldn't you use the loop/cftry/ cftransaction combo that Steve Nelson suggests for creating a new ID? Must say I'm totally baffled. I've still found no solid reason why people even bother concocting slick and wonderful 'workarounds' for the ID-creation 'problem'. Why not use the DB's autonumber/identity feature, and use the best method available (loop/try/transaction, or @@identity I guess) for grabbing a newly created ID? There's a lot of back-and-forth in this thread, some really useful info, but no overall idea of where we stand with this - pretty fundamental! - DB issue.

No, you don't need lb/failover services of Enterprise with a hardware load balancer... At my last big site we used a Foundry lb with several webservers. If you use session variables, be sure to use the datasource method rather than registry - this was a user can pass from machine to machine without issue. We setup each machine to mount a shared webroot from a fileserver, so that there were no code distribution issues, all machines used the same webroot. Also, each machine was addressable at its own unique hostname, but since the load balancer answered as www, we were able to use the same ssl certificate (www.domain.com) on each machine with error (unless you hit it with its hostname specifically).

Re: Is name locking sufficient for session vars?
The official MM/Allaire line is that shared-scope variables should be locked by scope and not by name (it's in the Knowledge Base). Yes, locking by name should be faster, if you coordinate it right - remember that locking doesn't lock anything, it merely coordinates access to the variables. In my opinion, locking by scope is for safety reasons, and it's worth it. Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- from: cf refactoring [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Mon, 26 Nov 2001 08:09:16 -0800 (PST) There's something that's been buggin me: Is NAME LOCKING sufficient for session variables? A best practice in CF is to always lock session variable access, but it's not really clear whether 1) NAME locking is sufficient or 2) should we always lock with SCOPE=SESSION? To me, the answer seems to depend on how shared memory is managed in CF. If session scope memory is managed as an entire block, then we have to use SCOPE=SESSION, because different user sessions can corrupt each other. On the other hand, if session scope memory is managed variable by variable, then we only need to worry that a single variable is not simultaneously accessed by two different threads, in which case a NAME lock would be sufficient.

RE: Wierd Session Timeouts/Linux-CF5 Restarting constantly
First: a little background I have a client who very recently moved an app from Win2k/CF4.5 to Linux/CF5 (both using the same MSSQL db.) With probably only modest testing, he decided it was working and went live with the Linux version. (fyi--- I just inherited this app written by someone else so I know very little about the code) Now: the problem- Yesterday I get reports that people's sessions are timing out every few minutes in spite of what the CFAdmin/CFApplication settings are for session timeouts. I track the session timeout issue down to the point where it's clear that the problem is that the CFServer is restarting every few minutes. Here are some server log entries.

RE: SELECT MAX(ID), Access SQL Server - confused!
H this is a hotly debated item always... blame portability and purists mostly for the reoccurrence I would personally take the approach to: A. Tie everything into one big transaction block... meaning... fetch existing ID highmark... create a lock on the next place (if possible)... write the data out... check for the validity of such... unlock things... B. I would use the native autonumber and id highmark fetching mechanisms built into your flavor of database. C. I wouldn't use big long unique strings... numbers do fine, are much shorter to sort on and involve less computation... shorter is better... Remember, all this fetch and math and sort and locking eats up transactional time... This means slower response to the client and more overhead on the server... Just a point of issue here, the database engines all get locking, unique IDs, etc. even under high-load the database would shuffle things and give you the right space/prevent two users from getting the same unique ID... can anyone tell me when and with what database this didn't hold true? It is based on this I say let the database do the work it knows best how to do Tell me if you think this is wrong... On the portability note... when migrating you might want to roll your identities into the new database and a non-identity field / non autonumber to preserve existing data and relationships... after you stop the bleeding of migration, assess the ease to enable it or build a secondary/shielded ID or ID to ID relationship mechanism... Nothing like migrating a few million records and having the field values not preserved... just did that from a SQL Server over to MySQL... glad we wasted hours on multiple imports.. couldn't get the IDs to pickup where the last on left off and dropped a bunch of date values -paris lundis -Original Message- From: Gyrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 07:41 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SELECT MAX(ID), Access SQL Server - confused!

CFHTTP and FQDN
Searching through the Allaire forums, we see that we're not the only ones experiencing a problem with ColdFusion 5 in respect to CFHTTP and FQDNs. Specifically, a CFHTTP request to the same domain that is making the request fails. The error message is the ubiquitous CFHTTP Connection Failure. I've included the debugging information from CFDUMP below. Substituting the IP address for the domain works. In addition, substituting a domain other than the one making the request but one still pointed at the same IP address works. It would seem that ColdFusion parses a CFHTTP request for its own domain differently than in any other scenario. Perhaps this is for performance reasons? Who knows but it is clear there is a problem. Has anyone come across a real fix or been able to narrow down the cause of problem? We're experiencing the problem on Windows 2000 running IIS 5 and ColdFusion Server 5 Professional Edition, though many of the people reporting the problem in the Allaire forums seem to be running Apache on Linux.

RE: SELECT MAX(ID), Access SQL Server - confused!
A developer who handled converting my Access DB to SQL Server for a client told me I had to rewrite all my INSERT queries to use SELECT MAX(ID), because there was no equivalent to AUTONUMBER in SQL Server. Eh? That's an indication that it's time to: a) buy your developer an introductory SQL Server book, or b) find a new developer, or c) learn how to do it yourself (fortunately, it isn't that hard) My problem is, I want to create an Access-based app template where the SQL code is as portable as possible between DB systems - specifically, Access and SQL Server. Why not carry on using AUTONUMBER, and convert that field to IDENTITY if upsizing? Why bother having a slightly risky 2-step transaction (or slightly performance-hurting transaction if isolation=serializable) for Access, only to have to switch all this to a stored procedure or trigger when upsizing to SQL Server? If you're only dealing with Access and SQL Server, the behavior of autonumber columns in Access is very similar to that of identity columns in SQL Server, so there's no reason not to use them. However, your original question was about ensuring that you get the appropriate key after inserting a record. Here's where your solutions might diverge - you might find yourself doing it one way with Access and another way with SQL Server, while still using the same autonumber or identity field with both. Why do Fusebox advise using the MAX_ID tag for and the 2-step INSERT for portability reasons - is this only when converting to non-MS stuff like Oracle or Sybase? Steve's documentation for the tag says: Because autonumber datatypes are not easily transferable from database to database. Yes, Access and SQL Server handle surrogate keys relatively similarly - so does Sybase. Oracle, on the other hand, uses sequences, which are defined a bit differently. In any case, the difficulty may lie when porting databases that already contain data from one platform to another - this can be a bit more difficult when using database-defined surrogate keys. And of course, even if the key fields perform the same way, as they do with Access and SQL Server, the code to take advantage of their performance may very well be platform-specific, as you've seen. So, I would guess that Fusebox recommends their approach because Fusebox values portability over performance. On the other hand, I personally generally value performance over portability, and so I'd recommend the platform-specific code approach, although it may require a bit more development. Neither choice is right, in the sense that it's always the appropriate choice. That's up to you, given your situation.

RE: How much faster to develop in CF v PHP
Trying to evaluate which way I should lean in the future. How much faster is CF, in general terms, than PHP - both from a standpoint of learning and developing dynamic sites? CF is easier to learn and I think its faster to develop in it as well. The primary benefits of CF, in terms of building dynamic sites, are the abstracted database access, which PHP only offers via a third-party class, and direct access to a recordset. PHP also doesn't offer the same type of specific variable scoping that CF does. And, as has been mentioned, it uses a model similar to JSP and ASP and that can, at times, make coding complicated HTML pages a bit more of a chore than CF. ~~ Your ad could be here.

RE: CFHTTP and FQDN
Under CF 4.5, I had this problem once when we installed a couple new webservers and the one internal cfhttp command generated continuous connection failures. It turned out to be an access permissions issue with the account that CF was running in. -Original Message- From: Benjamin S. Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 11:16 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFHTTP and FQDN Searching through the Allaire forums, we see that we're not the only ones experiencing a problem with ColdFusion 5 in respect to CFHTTP and FQDNs. Specifically, a CFHTTP request to the same domain that is making the request fails. The error message is the ubiquitous CFHTTP Connection Failure. I've included the debugging information from CFDUMP below. Substituting the IP address for the domain works. In addition, substituting a domain other than the one making the request but one still pointed at the same IP address works. It would seem that ColdFusion parses a CFHTTP request for its own domain differently than in any other scenario. Perhaps this is for performance reasons? Who knows but it is clear there is a problem. Has anyone come across a real fix or been able to narrow down the cause of problem? We're experiencing the problem on Windows 2000 running IIS 5 and ColdFusion Server 5 Professional Edition, though many of the people reporting the problem in the Allaire forums seem to be running Apache on Linux. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Routing restrictions on exchange server
A relay is a mail transport situation where neither the sender nor the receiver is a user in the local domain. You may need to authorize relaying in Exchange for CF.

RE: OT Quick JS ?
The problem is that substring returns a string value and your != comparison
is against an integer.
There are two ways to fix this.
1.) Use the parseInt() function on the variable: parseInt(first_number) != 4
or
2.) Turn the integer 4 in to the character 4: first_number != '4'

RE: Easier way to have a drop down selected
Robert, Hopefully I am understanding you correctly. After a user has submitted a form with the states selected you want an admin script to highlight which have been selected and which haven't. Is this correct? If so how are you storing the selected value list? The way I usually save a mutli-select value list is as a varchar field in some database table. You can then loop through your country list and check to see if the current country id is in the value list from the other table. If it is set the option to selected Example: cfquery name=Options SELECT IDList FROM SomeTable /cfquery cfquery name=Countries SELECT ID,CountryName FROM CountriesTable /cfquery cfloop query=Countries cfoutput option value=#Countires.ID# cfif #ListContains(Options.IDList, #Countries.ID#)#selected/cfif#CountryName# /cfoutput /cfloop Hopefully this is what you were asking about.

It might help you to debug if you were to label each of the error messages
differently so that you know which one is being triggered. Another thing you
might want to check is the order of operations on your comparisons for
Mastercard and American Express. I think that by adding a few parens around
the statements would make it clearer. For instance x y || z should be x
( y || z ). Or at least that's what I think you're trying to validate
against.

Re: OT Quick JS ?
I'm assuming that you are calling this function in the onSubmit action of
the form tag? If so, are you typing onSubmit=return CCValidate(this);? I
don't know the name of the function, so obviously replace CCValidate with
the function name.
I understand your frustration, as I've been there many times with JS, but I
find it's the little nuances of the language that tend to trip me up. That's
why I'm asking how you're calling the function. Again, I'm assuming it's an
onSubmit action. Is this true? If so, is it typed like I have it above? What
happens?

RE: OT Quick JS ?
I am not for certain here, but I believe you want to move your return false
to the very last statement only. Otherwise you are returning false and not
checking the rest of the statements.

It might help you to debug if you were to label each of the error messages
differently so that you know which one is being triggered. Another thing you
might want to check is the order of operations on your comparisons for
Mastercard and American Express. I think that by adding a few parens around
the statements would make it clearer. For instance x y || z should be x
( y || z ). Or at least that's what I think you're trying to validate
against.

Well here is what I did. As per Nate's suggestion I put the
!== to a != and
still it alerts that the value is not correct. As per Dave

off the () after the return false and it submit the page and
does a write of
the word false
Im frustrated, this should be easy, but is proving diffucult

I'm assuming that you are calling this function in the onSubmit action of
the form tag? If so, are you typing onSubmit=return CCValidate(this);?
I
don't know the name of the function, so obviously replace CCValidate
with
the function name.
I understand your frustration, as I've been there many times with JS, but
I
find it's the little nuances of the language that tend to trip me up.
That's
why I'm asking how you're calling the function. Again, I'm assuming it's
an
onSubmit action. Is this true? If so, is it typed like I have it above?
What
happens?

I don't know if this will solve your issue, but I noticed that you have
return false(); instead of return false; (without the parens). With
the
parens, you are asking JS to return a function called false, whereas
without
them you are returning a value of false.
Just a guess though...

I am not sure my last comment got sent.
The VISA validation works fine by itself, and I believe the problem to
be
that it is looking at the rest of the script for the CC validation. I
placed
it below for some insight
var type = target.card_type[target.card_type.selectedIndex].value;
var number = target.card_number.value;
var first_number = number.substring(0,1);
if ( type == 'VISA' parseInt(first_number) != 4){

I have to be honest and say for speed I cheated and set up the relationships between the tables in access2000 and then generated a query using the relationships to return all the classes sorted first by classteacherid and then by homeroomid. But the basic gist is that you actually have several nested queries there, linking the teacher to a class and the class to the children using a link table. The link table contains all the classes that a child attends. The query above returns a query that looks like this : childid childnamehomeroom teachername 4 Rob Reed 1Mrs. Jones 5 Julie Jules4Mrs. Jones 2 Leigh Smith 1Mrs. Smith 1 Tom Jones 1Mrs. Smith 3 Kate Lee 2 Mrs. Smith You would then do something like... cfoutput query=YourQuery group=teachername #teachername# cfoutput nbsp;#childname# /cfoutput /cfoutput giving you Mrs Jones Rob Reed Julie Jules Mrs Smith Leigh Smith Tom Jones KateLee Sorry that this is all a bit scary (particularly the INNER JOINS bit), but I hope I've explained enough for you to get the general idea and be able to look at what I've done and work it round to what you have.

Granularity HTTP UDF Library for CF5 in alpha
FYI The Granularity HTTP UDF Library free alpha was released today. Unlike CFHTTP this can do raw posts for XML work. - Michael Smith, TeraTech, Inc http://www.teratech.com/ I'd like to announce the alpha release of our HTTP library, specifically designed to overcome the CFHTTP HTTP/1.1 raw post limitation. CFHTTP in CF 4.5/5 cannont create/send a POST unless the data is encoded in a form's name/value pair. The HTTP/1.1 specification states that a POST can occur without a name/value, with simply contents in the body of the POST (aka raw post). Granularity has created a UDF Library for CF 5 to overcome this limitation. Raw posts are most often seen in XML-based transactions, such as SOAP, UDDI, cXML, etc. interactions. This UDF library is written utilizing java, so it's cross-platform (for CF's os's, Win32, Linux, Solaris, HP). Right now, it's in development and limited testing. When it's released, it will be free of charge. Documentation is a bit sparse right now, so please feel free to e-mail and ask questions.

;
var first_number = number.substring(0,1);

if ( parseInt(first_number) != 4){
alert(Invalid Visa Card Number);

}
break;

Now WHY he wanted to do that I don't know. You are correct that you could
could just capture the value of the select field in the action page and not
have a hidden field. The other thing to make my code much simpler is to use

RE: Studio alternative for Linux?
I use jEdit on Linux for development work... great editor!! I also use Linux on my desktop for development... I guess a reply to your question is why not?? It shouldn't matter what OS you use on your desktop? Whatever you prefer and are comfortable with. I made the switch to Linux about six months ago. I have many reasons for doing it, and I couldn't be happier. I have no need to boot into Windows, mainly because I have another windows machine where I can get to SQL Server, Access and ColdFusion. And I rarely use it for anything else. Linux meets all my needs, I don't have to pay those ridiculous INCREASING licensing fees to MS and more importantly, I like using it.

If you're using CFFORM with the ENABLECAB attribute set to yes, you'll be prompted to install CFJava.cab when using IE.

Netscape doesn't support ActiveX, so you don't get the prompt if you're using Netscape. I suspect that you're getting the password prompt because you've applied authentication to your /CFIDE directory, which is where CFJava.cab is stored.

RE: How much faster to develop in CF v PHP
Recently, though, the whole OS/Web world is in a state of (even more than normal) change: .Net and Neo etc. Actually, I'd argue that things are changing a lot less rapidly now than, say, a couple of years ago. All this .NET and Neo stuff is (to slightly oversimplify things) just another way to write HTML-based CGI apps. I'm rethinking the whole thing because Vbscript is going to be dead. Why do you say this? For what it's worth, the Visual Basic syntax isn't going anywhere anytime soon. No one writes VBScript to execute within a browser, but it's fine for other scripting uses on the Windows platform (ASP, WSH). Note that you can use JavaScript any place you can use VBScript, though, so I'd recommend using JavaScript instead, unless you are or intend to be a Visual Basic programmer. My needs I guess are defined by keeping costs down and learning and developing quickly. I was wondering if I should go for CF mainly and learn a bit of PHP to go with it. Fortunately for you, you have an embarrassment of riches from which to choose. I'd recommend that you start with the one that someone'll pay you to use for development, whichever that may be. CF is, in my opinion, the easiest of all of them to learn and to become productive with, but none of them are especially hard, and they all work in essentially the same way. If this is your first foray into programming, you might find a general-purpose programming language to be a better choice, rather than CF, PHP or ASP (ASP isn't really a language, but I'll lump it in here anyway). I'd recommend Python for this - it's a free scripting language just like PHP and a bunch of others, you can use it for CGI programming as well as other programming tasks, it's easier to approach and use than Java, and it's a great introduction to programming in my opinion. (Of course, who am I to say - I mainly started programming with CF.)

RE: OT: Ok.. JS gurus...
Not netscape that I'm using.
But let me clarify, this is what I want to do, and maybe this will make
more sense?
On the form I have created, it dynamically looks to see if there is more
than one record in the db for a customer. If so, rather than simply
showing the name of the item, CF substitues a drop-down, listing all the
items. The issue is that this form shows the data for that item, so I
want to be able to have them simply change the drop-down, which in turn
causes the form to submit, thereby setting a hidden field holding the
new item name, which then gets sent to the form, is picked-up and used
as the new item to display.
Make sense?

Wordwrap and ASPMail (?)
Hello, We have a weird error sending emails. We use the ASPMail object (DLL) to send emails and the MIME method for dual mail (HTML and plain text). We realize when we try to send a big mail (say, 50kb!!!) the HTML part of the email appears with errors:. ASP Mail puts some kind a space. I've read ASPMail docs and they say AspMail can encode high characters using a scheme where the = sign indicates a character to be decoded follow by the hex string value of the character to be encoded. This system of course assumes that the client can decode these characters (which most can). This is called quoted-printable encoding. The default for AspMail is not to use QP encoding. Things that trigger automatic QP encoding: High characters - characters with the following ordinal values 0..31,61,128..255 Long lines of a message body (you can turn wordwrap on to fix this case) Most clients are capable of handling QP encoding. If your client is not capable then you should upgrade your client or you must work within the above limitations to prevent the QP encoding from occuring. But we turn WordWrap ON but still we get errors with space. someone had a similar problem? May I use some kind of wordwrap function ? or something? thanks in advance (!!), ~Juan ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Why don't you just use the drop down's value and never use the hidden
variable then? You could set the value as a string to pass more than one
value from the drop down.

But let me clarify, this is what I want to do, and maybe this will make

On the form I have created, it dynamically looks to see if there is more
than one record in the db for a customer. If so, rather than simply
showing the name of the item, CF substitues a drop-down, listing all the
items. The issue is that this form shows the data for that item, so I
want to be able to have them simply change the drop-down, which in turn
causes the form to submit, thereby setting a hidden field holding the
new item name, which then gets sent to the form, is picked-up and used
as the new item to display.
Make sense?

RE: How much faster to develop in CF v PHP
What is the current status of a free version of CFServer? if something is still available I can without reservation recommend going with CF. Having come from a very similar background (Sales and Marketing) and segued into dynamic web application development thanks to ColdFusion, I feel I have validity in making this recommendation. I did try both ASP and iHTML (brief successor to ColdFusion bundled with O'Reilley WebSite) over the years and still ran back to ColdFusion. Another important issue, it really is very enjoyable being creative with CF. It is easy to get something simple going and demonstrable and yet you can get to incredible levels of sophistication and complexity.

Re: How much faster to develop in CF v PHP
Although I'm new to the list, I'll weigh in here... I actually love working in PHP, even though I do quite a bit of CF development (obviously, I took the time to sign up). The reason is simple -- community. There are just far more examples of workable FREE PHP code out there. Seems like a huge percentage of the CF developers want $$$ for their little snippets of code I mean, obviously that's a gross over-generalization, but as someone who learns mostly from other people's examples, PHP has been a godsend. That said, there are things I absolutely love about CF, as well -- the ease of hitting DB's and whatnot (although that's not terribly complicated in PHP, either). Cold Fusion finally got UDF's, the lack of which drove me absolutely insane... but that's not that amazing. In the end, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're about equal. The only difference is the cost... which if you're building a substantial website is negligible. That said, if you're a small web d00d, you can be up and running with PHP/mysql(or Postgres)/Linux for free! -- jon From: Paris Lundis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 16:02:23 -0500 To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How much faster to develop in CF v PHP another good thread lets see if you want to see your children, have a social life, interact with people (not just machines), see life...

Re: MS word HTML page with a picture
I found a solution for my problem and am posting for the archives. I know this is easy stuff for most but it took me a few think of it. I let word create the sub directories with *_files names (Option in word). Then I build my pages based on the *.htm files in the directory structure. When I see sub directory with the same name and *_files as the html file I know I have supporting files to deal with for that page. I then parse out the path of the MS Word HTML document to get the various pieces of the string I need to use cfdirectory and cffile and the path replaces. From there I use cffile read in the original document saved by the end user with MS word and just replace the paths in the variable created with cffile and use writeoutput() to include it in my current web page. Seems to work well. I also set the user up with a web folder in explorer on her PC so she can save directly from MS word to the branch on the website. This seemed to make things very easy for the end user.

David Green wrote: Hello list, Thanks all for the good material on this list! I am not sure how to ask this question. Is there a way to control the relative calling directory information when using cfinclude? I know questions does not make sense My problem is am including pages that are created in word and saved to HTML then uploaded by a user to a user defined directory structure on the server. I then use cfdirectory and cfinclude to make pages with links and display the pages with footers and back grounds ect. This all works great for pages without a pictures user is able to build and control there site with just word and some file management. Till they add a picture to the document created in word A page created/saved by MS word as HTML that includes a picture looks for a sub directory of (WebPageName_files) in the directory that the MS word page is in.My problem is that because am using cfinclude I am not in the directory that the MS word page is in so my relative directory path is not what was created by the word when the document was saved. The path to the image in the document created word will be something like ./tour/testpage_files/picture.jpg but because of the cfinclude am not in the directory with a subdirectory of tour. Am in the directory with my cfm pages (/webname/cf_pages ) and the page is looking here for the subdirectory of tour and the path to the image. Editing the path in the word after saving it html document is not an option.My user would not a clue on how to edit the code. So my question has anybody done something like this using word and cfinclude and how did you handle the file paths created by word?
