Got a question for you Ben... Using your example, if I have abstractcomponent.cfm in the root of www_cfc and then i create folders to logically house other cfc's...how would I reference abstractcomponent.cfc from a subfolder?
www_cfc ....abstractcomponent.cfc ....cybergirl .......girl.cfc I tried APPLICATION.CreateCFC( "cybergirl.Girl" ).Init(...) and it found girl.cfc, but girl.cfc extends applicationcompnent.cfc and it is erroring out as it can't seem to find applicationcomponent.cfc. Can I only extend cfc's that are in the same directory? Eric >Eric, > >It's just a tiny component that most of my components extend.
