Having/bought a cf8 copy early on wasn't for a tiny project. Then the project took on with its own 'life', and for another, to see what's technially possible then one can see if some idea can be implmented, then a new idea on its implementation came up... anyway, the feedback/thoughts on the thread are helpful, which I appreciate. I now see more options to get things done. Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
