Nope... You're not matching SPECIFIC strings, you're using regex to match anything after the /seminar/
The URL can be whatever you like As long as you've got this in your ini file, then you're golder: [ISAPI_Rewrite] RewriteRule (.*)/seminar/(.*)/ $1/seminar.cfm?yourvar=$2 This code will take the following: /seminar/macworld /seminar/cfunited08 /seminar/nada and rewrite them to /seminar.cfm?event=macworld /seminar.cfm?event=cfunited08 /seminar.cfm?event=nada The (.*) is the key. Working from the inside out: .. matches ANY character * says any number of times Put those together and it says match any character, any numner of times. The parens store the matched text into a temp variable to be used with the $1 or $2.

Still a little confused: www.mysite.com/seminar/#EVENT_CODE# Could be 300 records in the database, with stuff being added and deleted on an ongoing bases at any time. So, I'm not sure how I account for that here: I'd have to write from the database in some way and loop through all the #event_code# used and add them to the below, correct? Something like: [ISAPI_Rewrite] <cfloop> RewriteRule /seminar/(.*)/ /seminar.cfm?name=#event_code# </cfloop> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:298910 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
