Thanks for the help and encouragement, Josh! I saw the charts in the "Getting to Know CFMX7" area and thought "wow"...that'll be fun...
I hope I'm not too compelled to rewrite all the old apps! I've got too many current projects going that are behind already!!!! But it'll be nice to be working with some new toys. However, before I can get those new toys into production, I've got to shell over the $1300 for the CF server. :o/ The cost of progress...

You'll be loving CF7. Re DW - it still does some annoying things, it's not perfect, but I think it's a nice balance between design and coding features. The design view nowadays is quite accurate, much improved over the earlier versions. It is well worth the cost if you do a lot of design work. One great feature in CF7 that's worth checking out is the cfchart/cfchartseries combo. Talk about knocking out your clients...on the fly graphical chart generation? Fuggedaboutit. The downside of all this is that soon you'll find yourself wanting to rewrite all your old apps using CFCs. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 8:53 PM Subject: RE: Can't open CF7 Administrator > You're right...design needs to be as good as the code or it doesn't > get past first base with most clients...and there's no reason it should. > > I'm strong on design, less strong of CF coding, but I get done what > I need to.
