I set up a mapping for each project that maps the the projects root directory. Inside the root directory is my cfc directory. Also inside the root directory is a www directory which is the only web-accessible directory in the application. Everything else that resides outside the www directory can be accessed using the mapping (cfincludes, custom tags using cfmodule, CFCs, etc.) Mappings can be set up like so in the cfmx administrator (this is for 6.1): Logical Path: /webprojectroot Directory Path: C:\projects\webproject Then you could put your CFCs in: C:\projects\webproject\cfc And access them like: <cfinvoke component="webprojectroot.cfc.component_name" method="method_name" ....> --Andy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
