Hi Dominic, I reinstalled the beta 2 version clean (standalone, not as an Eclipse plug-in since I don't use Eclipse) and that option wasn't present. After poking around I did find a way to add an FTP server and cruise around and open/edit/save existing files. The biggest problem I ran into after that was creating a new file. The standard Ctrl+N and "new file" options bring up a dialog box to add a "file resource" to a project, and of course since I don't use the "project" system it wouldn't let me create a new file. Very frustrating. I did eventually find that if I right-click on a folder on the FTP tree there are "new file" and "new folder" options there which will create a new blank file (or folder) on the FTP server. It's unfortunate that the "new file" option within the editor doesn't tie into that, but ah well. At this point I can get to my existing files and create new ones via FTP, so that gets my biggest problem out of the way. Next will be to find where they're hiding the color coding for the editor. I found some of it in the preferences, but some of the options seem to be missing (comments, for example, can't find that one anywhere and the yellow background has got to go, heh). Anyway, thanks for everyone's nudging in the right direction. I suppose for those who already use and are familiar with Eclipse, the CFBuilder stuff is just awesome and simple to adjust to. For someone coming from a decade of HomeSite+ having never used Eclipse, it's a lot to take in at once and the way some things work doesn't entirely make sense just yet, but as I get more into the program perhaps that will change. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
