I'm surprised you found this. Few hosting providers will let you have access to the CF Administrator on a shared server, but nearly all of them give you the functionality if you want it. For example, we have functionality to let users create their own MySQL, MSSql or Access databases and DSNs if they want, scheduled tasks can be created by developers without needing the CFAdministrator, as can Verity collections. Nearly all shared hosting puts the logs into the user's own web space so you can read them however you like, and CF allows you to create your own logs any time you want as well. Even mappings can be added and deleted by developers without need for access to the CFAdministrator (provided they're unique) So yes it's true you can't get at the CF Administrator if you're sharing (if you have a VPS you can have full console access so that's different) but you can get the functionality you need. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
