The approach is okay ( decent ) as long as you're doing the hosting yourselves and you have full control over the server. As a client coming in ( and probably because I'm a CF developer already ) I wouldn't like this because it could make it difficult for me to move to another hosting provider later. The other thing to watch for is that if the clients have any access to the coldfusion code for their site, they could potentially drop a custom tag with the same name in the local directory, which would override your tag in the custom tags directory. If you were to place these tags in a subdirectory of the custom tags directory, I believe you could eliminate this as a possibile issue by using the syntax <cfmodule name="ourglobaltagsdir.tagname"> hth s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
