I don't want to be testy, but in what way have we not covered it: -- we provide a book in the documentation called migrating ColdFusion 5 applications which talks about all the deprecated tags and tells you how to use the analyzer -- we built the code compatibility analyzer
These resources may be imperfect (they always are), but they're pretty substantial. Is there something else you're thinking of specifically?

Don't people think that Macromedia should have covered this so upgrading would be seamless? - surely this is a put-off for people to upgrade -----Original Message----- From: Phil Costa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 July 2002 13:08 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Backward compatibility You should also check the code analyzer, which is in the admin. It can scan your code and identify tags that will no longer work as well as tags that have been deprecated so may not work in the future.
