Aaron, I understand not being able to make it to CFUnited. And because John Paul is humble, I will also mention that he is available for consulting on these types of issues. Getting yourself setup with subversion correctly is money well spent. I have worked with John and can vouch for his level of expertise in this matter. With that said, if you want to go the poor man's route, you can do so. It just requires a bit more effort and time on your part. Here are some resources to get you started: A pretty good blog entry about the concept of version control in a CF environment: http://www.ryanguill.com/blog/?mode=entry&entry=897E322E-40CA-6D1C-8A4C3B3FE67B7FD9 Free online book about subversion (the manual): http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Googling subversion and coldfusion turns up quite a bit of useful links, including this one: http://www.robgonda.com/blog/index.cfm/2005/7/7/Subversion-up-and-running-in-30-minutes-or-less Just a note as I'm not sure if it has been made clear. To use source control, such as subversion, you do not have to use Eclipse. You should use source control even if you stick with Dreamweaver. In either case you need a "client" program to interact with the subversion server. Subclipse is a way to do it directly in Eclipse. Tortoise seems to be the most popular way outside of eclipse. It simply provides right-click context menus on any directory that is part of a source control repository.
