Hi Les, Apache's mod_rewrite can do this for you.
add this to your apache virtual host directive: ------------------ <Directory /home/username/public_html/events> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.cfm?event=$1 [QSA,L] </Directory> ------------------ Cold Fusion will then see this: www.mysite.com/events/MyBigEvent the same way it would see this: www.mysite.com/events/index.cfm?event=MyBigEvent If you're not using apache, perhaps whatever web server you're using can do something similar.
