Do you use cfmail parameters for naming the server, user and password? I'm on HostMySite and I'm not forced to use these parameters but I've found it's at least 300x faster (a few seconds compared to 3-5 minutes) if I do. -Original Message- From: Jake Churchill

Bind issues - observation

I'm sure this isn't news to most of you but perhaps there are one or two people out there struggling with CF and Ajax. Rewriting an application for CF that was originally done in Access has some challenges. Among them is display fields that are updated by an associated field. In my case (and

This is straight off the Adobe CF9 page. We're running CF8 but the docs there are so sparse they tell you nothing so we can't tell if this is a version problem or what. The .cfm file (we added the cftry stuff): cftry cfform name=mycfform First Name: cfinput type=text name=firstname

If you've worked with this (successfully) in the past would you contact me off-list? I've read the Adobe documents and searched with Google and something just isn't working right. Probably simple (once you know what you're talking about). Thanks. Larry Stephens steph...@indiana.edu

Journaling

The project I'm working on requires Journaling, i.e., track changes made to the data. I'm hoping to do this as a blackbox. My beginning plan is to duplicate the query that loads the form to a session variable. Then, when the form submits, compare the submitted data to the original data and

SESSION variables and cflock

2010-08-04 Thread Stephens, Larry V
From time to time I go back and read my CF books to see if I can glean something new. I was reading the section again on locking and I'm (rather belatedly) confused. The book says you should act on SESSION variables within a cflock because of potential collisions. But are my SESSION variables

I'm drawing a blank. Using CF8 with an Access database. I have a date field and test it at times for len() [i.e., if it's empty then...]. I set it with CreateODBCDate() but, at a later time, may wish to wipe out the date so it is empty again. Google isn't helping so before I test a bunch of

That is correct as far as I have been able to determine. If you examine the code (when you use rich text) you'll note a bunch of javascript is generated in the head of the document that grabs all control. I never did find a workaround and went to the CKEditor (which wouldn't help with what you
