As I've mentioned previously, this is clearly specific to your environment and setup. The average page execution time for a view in FarCry is typically <200ms on my laptop, configure it properly and you're down to <50ms.

If you would be happy to pay me the license cost of Commonspot, I'd be happy to write your own personal manual :) The developer guide you refer to is in fact a supplement to a three day, instructor-led training course, which is available in Australia and the US. And you'll be happy to hear we've been improving the documentation day by day. A cursory look at the farcry-dev list suggests none of your questions went unanswered and were responded to in a timely fashion. I'm sorry the community advice wasn't sufficient to see you through. In any event, it's good to hear you found a solution that better meets your requirements. geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ PS. Your suggestion to list version details on the login page has been added to the soon to be released FarCry 5.0 (Fortress) -- so not all your posts were futile ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:297800 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
