Hi Again, Well I don't want to name the vendor, they have a good product, it works and is being used. I'm just concerned that using CGI rather then CF or even ASP for that matter is a step in the wrong direction. I'm even more concerned about using a text file vs. a modern database. I just need to explain to management the pros/cons of CGI Vs CF.

We don't know what this new app is. How about a link so we can evaluate it ourselves. You have only given your biased view of this new app and no details whatsoever. Anyone responding to your post is uninformed.
