I don't know if it's normal, but I do know it's doable -- and have heard of people doing it even with production systems where the developers use Win2K and the server is Solaris for instance... iirc there was some comment about needing to format the cfm files because of the differences between line breaks on Windows and on Solaris, but because neither db will involve direct file writes / accesses, they should be insulated from this problem -- the db servers work on a standardized set of drivers and perform the actual data writing internally on the machine in question, so it doesn't matter if the db server is Windows or AIX or SCO-Unix so long as you can connect to it via an IP address on the db server port. At least that's the way I understand it. :) Isaac Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5 Developer www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
