That's exactly what I'm doing. I've found that MOST of the tutorials online have great detail, but it's all CF5 detail and NOTHING I've seen online has details about how to utilize CFLOGIN and the new CF session management feature. I know that starting with MX, you don't have to lock things in the session scope, etc, and I'm looking to create something that's largely MX based, and I'm having a devil of a time finding anything useful online. I just recently finished "Fast Track to coldfusion", which contained detailed information on the last chapter about cflogin, and stuff, but I'm doing it moderately different than the example in the class and I'm running into "where do I stick my code" questions, more than anything else. But I think I'm getting it. I was heading in the direction you just described above almost by myself. It seems like I'm about 5 minutes ahead of you guys and are seeming to have the same revelations at about the same time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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.
