Well Tim having 2400 pages that are not run based on a site template or that don't include a standard header/footer is the bass-ackwards way of doing things ;-) How I structure an app: index.cfm is the site layout template...it includes header/footer/menu etc. I pass around a URL var called pg which is the file name I want included for content (I always perform a FileExists() check and if not kick user to a page not found page). If I want to change the look over EVERY page I just edit index.cfm (or one of the included header/footer/menu files). Hope this sheds some light ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
