Mike, Sorry... I'm not trying to post a million messages on this topic but after reading more details of your situation I really have to wonder if this is Macromedia's fault? It really sounds to me like your hosing company doesn't know what the hell they're doing or they have you running on some strange hardware that just doesn't work with CFMX perhaps?
If you want to eliminate CFMX from the equation contact me (off list) and I'll set you up on one of my servers so you can run some test code. My box has been running flawlessly for months... so if it starts crashing I can guarantee you it's something in the code. -Novak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Kear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 1:19 PM Subject: RE: Very unsatisfied with Macromedia's support attention ... > I know I'm stirring up a lot of fuss, and I guess I'm making no friends at > Macromedia.
