Rick - Please take this in the most constructive way possible. You asked a question, got a overwhelmingly consistant answer from the entire list that "you're doing it wrong". Now you are being somewhat unreasonably upset about that answer (considering you asked for input). You seem very fixated on a very very specific solution to a problem when you may be better served to have a wide open mind and listen to all opinions. Sometimes if everyone around you is saying "you're doing it wrong", then there is nothing more to it than just that. Often I talk to clients who start by telling me what they think the solution to their problem is. Sometimes it's a good solution, but often (usually due to their inexperience), it's not really the best solution for their problem. Instead I try to ask them to tell me their *problem*, not their *solution*. Until the client can let go of their preconceived notions of what *they* think the best solution is, we really aren't giving them the best work that we can. Take a step back and look at the question you were asking. You are prescribing a solution not presenting a problem. Many on the list are trying to stop you from making that mistake and moving you back to the actual problem you are trying to solve. Your root problem is one that most of the people on this list also have dealt with at some point. As a result, the overwhelming majority of people have told you how they solved that root problem, and why they chose that solution over the one you are suggesting. Now, you can (and are apparently) holding steadfast to your one single prescribed solution, and I wish you the best of luck with that. However, you have asked a community of peers for advice, and then aggressively (and rudely) rejected the overwhelmingly consistant advise of "you're doing it wrong". Good luck out there. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355486 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
