There's an Adobe document called "cfmx7_migrating.pdf". We basically just worked through it. Every issue we had was described in this document - things like cfmail, cfdirectory, TimeFormat etc. I might add we only needed a dozen changes in several thousand modules.
The only thing we found hard to find by examining the code was the change in the structure dot notation handling - in 4.5 if you forgot to do a StructNew(), then <cfset a.b = "c">, you end up with a variable whose name is "a.b". In 6 & 7 you get an error telling you "a" is not a struct. Let me know if you want me to email you a copy of the document. Jaime Metcher -----Original Message----- From: Nathan C.

And 4.0 to 6.1 before that - on another box. For the most part the update is going well. I have a few niggling details with how variables are referenced, but that has been the biggest issue to date. The "code-scanner" in the administrator can be helpful but it will not catch everything. It will probably depend a lot on how many less obscure features you use too - if any. The one that reads and writes windows registry is the one that comes to mind. -Nate > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Fuqua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 3:15 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: moving from CF 4.5 to 7.0 > > No personal experience, but I think the info you find about > 4.5 to MX or > especially 6.1 would translate well.
