Can you be very specific about the crashes? In CFMX 6.x, 7 you don't have to worry about stability suffering from "unlocked shared scope variable" usage. This was a leading killer in CF5 and 4.5 since developer would have to properly use CFLOCK with session and application scopes throughout the entire app, or else you would end up with memory corruption having the symptoms of numerous PCODE errors, unknown exceptions, and generally wacky things happening before the server eventually crashed (process died). If this is what you see in CF4.5, then you'll be happy to know that problem doesn't occur there. > Are there any other really good reasons (from a Chief Exec level) that > would be great to convince them to change? Yes. Macromedia does not support CF 4.5 anymore, e.g. no support calls, no hotfixes. -Steven Erat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
