You don't. It's just another way to reference them. I'm not sure what the benefit would be over a mapping, but you can safely ignore that feature if you can use mappings.

I don't think a server I control has anything mapped, aside from the default directory. cheers, barneyb On 11/21/05, Troy Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using ColdFusion MX 7.0.1.
