Since you're moving from CF 4.5 to 5.0, you probably will want to be careful doing this. You can, however, migrate things like datasources from one to the other by backing up and restoring registry keys. The appropriate keys are: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion (for CF 4.5; in 5.0, it'll be HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\ColdFusion) HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC.INI Now, with both of these, you won't simply want to export and import without looking over the new and old registry keys a bit first. In addition, it's probably not worth exporting all of your general CF configuration information, since the appropriate values for some of these things will likely be different in CF 5 than in 4.5.
