I'm am struggling with this serious problem: we have software for pc, and the software engineer of it also made an ISAPI.dll to access the functions via a web page.
When you call a web  page and you want to get the functions working on your page you have to make an url like this:
www.mysite.com/application.dll?topage=mypage.html
On that page we use labels, formatted like this(looks a bit like cf): #nameoffunction#.
If you run the page the labels show the function output, for example a report or inputfields. This output is programmed in the software.


Now it comes: when I want to work with Coldfusion and I also want the application function to work I have to use the "application.dll?topage="- in the urls, but the Coldfusion-functionality isn't working anymore. The webserver recognises the *.cfm extensions but not what is inside.
If I pass the isapi-driven labels as a variable to a next page for example, using an action page, then I manage to use the functions with only 1 line of output. But there's also a function that generates a whole table with several columns and rows, and that one I can't manage to pass trough to the next page.
I was wondering if someone could help me, maybe you have experienced something like this? The software-engineer refuses to make to output more editable, and they also don't understand much of real webdevelopment with CFM, so I'm left all alone here and i see some good website functionality go up in smoke.
Thank you in advance and I also want to wish you a very happy new year!


With kindly regards,


Willy Otto


PS:An example of the website we are running with the functionality is here: http://www.erbisweb.be/demo (leave password empty), it's in dutch, but if you go for example to 'Meterkaart' you'll see immediatly a function working: a select box for choosing buildings, when you press "verder" you'll get a meter card: it's for inputting meter registration, the program is about energy management. When you choose "Cenergie" you'll see an empty card, that's because this building is monitored by telemetry. It would be nice that I could use cfm in the future to go back for example, if the table is empty, for now it's still a dream because CFM won't work overthere :-(
