Great! Creating a virtual directory called "CFIDE" to the CFIDE folder under the "Default Web Site" brought the richtext cftextara right up!
Was this complication caused by my using a webroot of "E:\inetpub\webroot" other than the normal "C:\inetpub\wwwroot"? I suspect so, but I definitely need a more authoritative opinion as to why I needed the CFIDE virtual directory when I never have before. Thanks, Dave!
