Douglas, Thanks for the feedback! 

I just had a duh experience; I’ll make the username/password optional as it 
should be.

“DataSource RootURL” is a typo, I’ll change it to read “RootURL”

Why should I pass the DSN to the CFC and use the request scope? I based this 
wizard off chapters in the CFMX Bible.

I’ve never seen a forum that allows anonymous posts, and it does concern me a 
bit. Maybe I could setup an “anonymous user” account, and make it an option 
for a future release. 

I’ll make max_id an option and also provide for autonumber. What is a 
sequenced primary key; is that like autonumber? Should I make that an option 
too?

As my of my clients are small businesses/non-profits, so I’ve never had to 
use Oracle. I guess I need to put it on my dev server. 

As I have worked on our forums, shopping cart and other apps we are selling I 
have found designing for cross platforms can be a pain, and there are definite 
trade offs.
