Sean, See my comments inline....

Actually, the preferred way to manage this is to create an empty collection using the VDK mode tools (<CFCOLLECTION> or the CF Admin). Yes this will create the additional "custom" folder but what can you do. The issue at hand is the Registry. MKVDK won't create an entry in the registry, so CF really has no idea that there is a collection there. Since you are conducting your searches using <CFSEARCH> there has to be a registy setting there. Kinda screwed up I know.... > 2. I have the vspider working on the site.

There are a number of attributes that don't seem to work with the localhost version of the spider. This may be one of them. I personally haven't used the indinclude switch so I can't say for sure. One thing I'd recommend it to put a link at the bottom of the page or something (use small white text or a transparent gif to hold the link) and have that point to your pop ups section. Kinda cheesy but it'll work.... > 3.

K2 Seems to get really squirrly if it's not restarted on a collection refresh. I've created batch files to refresh the collection using the spider (works great) and subsequently restart the K2 server. There is virtually no downtime and it keeps things running smooth. I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but this is what I've found to be pretty much bulletproof... Also, I did a presentation about this. You can find my presentation materials and some batch files for updating collections and such here... http://www.spectrumastro.com/veritydemo/index.cfm Good Luck!
