Obviously I'm a complete noob at exactly what I need to do here. As I said before, in CF5 it would have been easy!! I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around this, but once I get it figured out, think I'll be OK.
Just so I understand: 1. write CFC's (accessTYPE="remote") for all my query stuff (inserts, updates....) on the USA site in order to access that database, 2. "consume" those over on the Guernsey site? To really oversimplify: All my display stuff in Guernsey (forms and such) and all my processing code (CFC's) in the US where the database I want to use is located. I've been on Google all afternoon looking for examples to help me get this straight, and I've come up short so far. > Well, here is the *very* basic lowdown: > > Setup a .CFC with functions that have accesstype="remote" > > Here is a basic example, lets say you have a file called webservice.cfc > in your web root of www.mysite.com.
