Usually, you only interact with CFM pages from the browser. Those CFM pages then delegate processing to your CFCs. If you take your current model, the first step would be to move your queries into CFCs, and then invoke the CFC methods from your action page, before doing the CFLOCATION.
The general rule of thumb that I follow is that if it's a UI concern, it goes in a CFM (which might be an include, a custom tag, a UDF library, etc), but if it's a business concern, it goes in a CFC. cheers, barneyb On 7/11/07, Steve Sequenzia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am pretty new to using ColdFusion components but I am trying to start doing > all my inserts and queries with them. > > In the past I would always submit my forms to another .cfm page (usually > called action).
