That is the POINT! IF you use the initial cfusion instance for client B today, then tomorrow create a new instance for client D, ColdFusion is going to copy everything in the cfusion instance into this new one, including all of client B's settings. So if this is something that you do not want. Then not using the cfusion instance for any development is a best way to keep it clean so that when it is copied to make new instances by ColdFusion, there will be no unnecessary settings copied with it. Now, yes there might be times when you want this. For a time when we had some common, universal Data sources and mappings that we wanted to be the same in all our projects we put them into the cfusion instance to be copied. But we didn't use it for actual projects. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336326 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
