Mark, I am taking a look at Transfer this morning, and I actually like it so far. Having a database map in XML is very intuitive to me so far. I'm gonna whip up some test apps with it and then take a look at Machii, but either way its looking like Transfer may make it into my daily toolkit =)

In terms of frameworks - for a job this size, I can *highly* recommend one! Especially for a project of the magnitude that you are describing. We are currently building a large scale application on Machii, ColdSpring and Transfer, and it is proving to be a very flexible, robust and rapid development platform. That being said, I'm biased in some areas (obviously Transfer), so for further knowledge on frameworks, you view: Sean Corfield's framework presentation: http://www.corfield.org/articles/frameworks.pdf The cfframeworks interviews are really good as well: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Cfframeworks-InterviewPodcast Also, if you search the coldfusion weekly and coldfusion podcast podcasts, there are also several episodes that have good information on frameworks. Let us know how you go. Mark On 4/25/07, Peterson, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, the meeting went well, and the client decided on a re-write. > (Yahooooo!!!)
