I'm late to the thread, and other people have said it already, but this is an important topic so I'd like to two-cents too, tia. It can be useful to separate your raw data, from your procedures, from your interface. With server-side generation of pages we've already got data separated out... we're familiar with that concept. Classic ColdFusion pioneered putting higher-level instructions into the presentation layer... CFQUERY is a simple instruction which invokes an expanded set of rules on the server. (Compare the PHP/ASP approach, where the instructions are hardwired into the presentation layer.) I'm guessing that person may have gotten to "kinda hokey" by not knowing the current and near-term encapsulation methods... maybe they had heard about "Enterprise Java Beans", and didn't know about parallel scalability models. Maybe you could ask that person what they meant, specifically...? ;-) jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco CA US Search technotes: http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ Offlist email risks capture by the spam filters.
