If they don't about every 30 minutes all the memory leaks out and the machines lock up. My comment about this is that there are so many people running cf5 in the same environment, why can't we keep our systems running. The group is pretty stuborn about being wrong .. it's easier to blame MM ... becauase Allaire CF 4.0 ran pretty bad on the Suns. > > > Also, the need to connect to an AS400 to get product information is > > critical (possible?) > > At least one person on this list has CFMX talking to an AS400 so > hopefully they'll chime in.
