And along the lines of what Matt has said, I think you said previously that you had a copy of Forta's book on Coldfusion. If I am wrong, pick one up. Since you are new to Coldfusion, I would suggest sitting down and reading the book from front to back, and then going back to the excercises. There is a wealth of knowledge in there, and it will also be a great reference for you down the road. Once you get up and running, and feel comfortable with the syntax, then go out and buy yourself an Advanced Coldfusion 7 Application book (also by Ben Forta) and check out all the advanced features CF has to offer. I am sure once you have read these books, you can swing by here and be helping others with their problems like you have received help.
