Thanks Doug. Actually this server has operated flawlessly for months, and only in the last couple of weeks has had problems. I have no idea how the permissions got changed, although I do realise that only two people have access to the server console, only one person does so regularly, and that person .. well .. shall I say is not fully convinced that ColdFusion is a "real" language. This person would not have been disappointed at problems with ColdFusion.
When I started doing work for this client 3 years ago, he was convinced that the way to go was to use Delphi and strangely enough he was well qualified to do all that work. Ever since he has always referred to it as "Mike Kear's Cold Fusion" and has been quick to point out any errors in anything I've done. But I wouldn't like to cast aspersions at anyone.

No security problems, That is the way it is supposed to be. CF uses a SYSTEM account and must have full control permissions set wherever it is run. This is not clear in the documentation. I am glad to hear that you have finally isolated and resolved the display problem. I remember sweating blood and tears getting my server set up to work properly as well. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Kear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | The cure was to set the permissions correctly.
