Please note that some of this guy's comments are complete and utter rubbish 2 examples; <cfif status IS "Okay"> <cftransaction action="commit"> <cfquery...></cfquery></cfif></cftransaction> This is his example of some code - note that the <CFIF> and <CFTRANSACTION> are unbalanced - if that's meant to be a working example, welcome to JIT error time... Format data within your code, not your SQL data type. For example, imagine you have a field named "Price". Rather than specifying the datatype "money" in your SQL database, specify INT and use the ColdFusion function Dollar format(#Price#). What he's saying here is "If you want a money type, then don't worry about the pennies, the database will kill them for you" - using Int to store a money is just asking for trouble - unless you can GUARANTEE that you'll never need to store anything apart from whole dollars... If this is meant to be advice for new developers, then it includes bad advice Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
