Craig, You're welcome.
If you want, get the book _Code Complete_ by Steve McConnell. It isn't a
Cold Fusion book, but I finished reading it about a month ago and it help my
coding style immensely. One tip I found extremely useful is to layout the
structure of you code before you begin writing any code. I'm going to do a
presentation on that for the New Orleans Cold Fusion User's Group in the not
too distant future.
