This can be done using several methods. My personal favorite is to use a custom 404 handler that processes the URLs and includes the files needed, but it can also be done through a URLRewriter ISAPI filter. I use IIS, so your options may vary if you're running Apache. In IIS, go into the site properties, then custom errors and find the 404 error. Select URL for the handler, and set the URL to whatever your processor will be (such as /URLHandler.cfm where the file is in the root of your site). Within the code for 404.cfm you can look at the CGI variables and/or the URL values presented by IIS and parse the request out, then do whatever you need to do to handle it. As I mentioned, this can also be done using a URLRewriter ISAPI filter, and some have had great success with that method as well. -- Justin Scott | GravityFree Network Administrator 1960 Stickney Point Road, Suite 210 Sarasota | FL | 34231 | 800.207.4431 941.927.7674 x115 | f 941.923.5429 www.GravityFree.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317060 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
