The flash forms stuff was pretty cool in CF7 and I spent a lot of time hacking them to get them to work for an admin I did.
I would say you really have 2 choices.. 1. Ajax 2. Flex Essentially Flash Forms were Flex Lite 1.5... but according to Forta flash forms will not be upgraded to flex 2 since Flex 2 is free and you can get a lot more done. If I was in your shoes I would do it in Ajax just because anyone with a somewhat modern browser is going to be able to use your application. The nice thing is that since it is an application you have a little more leeway in saying "You need to use IE6+ or Firefox" and not worry about having to support Netscape 2.0 Windows 95 edition or Mosaic :-) The CF8 Ajax stuff is pretty slick from the couple of things I have played around with. I am starting to implement them into some of my applications since I got the go ahead to purchase my CF8 licenses. CFLAYOUT and CFWINDOW allow you to do some really cool things very quickly. J.J.
