> It will... I use Win2K Server for development at home That's good to know, because upgrading two major pieces of software at once would be a no-go...not just because of cost, but because I know I'd have to deal with a lot of issues that have everything to do with only setting up a stable software and nothing directly to do with productivity, i.e., making money.
I just purchased a new laptop for client demonstrations and development on the road. (Sometimes it's just better to get out of the studio and go someplace different for working...) Haven't installed CF or anything on the laptop yet...it's running Win XP Pro. It'll just be used for development and I won't be tapping into it from the Internet, so I should just be able to set up CF and avoid IIS...right? (I used to work this way when I first started...CF installed on my Win 2000 Pro workstation, develop and view sites locally, then upload to the server when complete. Now, with everything networked I just develop straight on the production server....that lets clients tap into their development site and view progress (or lack thereof!) and test portions of sites/apps as I develop them. They get trained and I get debugging as we go! >I think the rest of us have learned a new rule. If it aint broke it >must not have done much. :) I just added that rule to my book! A CF web-based office app I've been working on for a month or so is going to have to be re-designed simply becaue the stupid select displays in my forms are corrupted when scrolled in my iFrames...I can't ask the client to live with that...so it's back to the drawing board (for the 3rd time!) with the layout...aaarrrrgh! It finally did enough to be "broke"! Rick > -----Original Message----- > From: S.
