No, those are the two extensions used by CF scripts. CFM files are typically used to render pages, and CFC files are used to define components, which are somewhat analogous to classes in other languages. ColdFusion does support other extensions - those used by J2EE web apps - but you don't use those as a matter of course when writing CF apps. > Can I call a .cfc file from an form on Post? You can. Actually, you would call a method defined within a CFC, rather than just the CFC itself. Your method would then be responsible for rendering the content of the HTTP response, which would usually contain HTML. Not too many CF developers do things this way, in my experience. Most CF developers use CFCs for code that doesn't directly generate output, and CFMs for code that does generate output.
