I'd dispute that. I've run several COM apps that worked with CF 4 and 5 (and even CF 3!) on CF MX, and some work while others don't. CF MX uses a third-party COM interface for Java, JIntegra. I suspect that it has some limitations. > It also depends on what you want to call > > In CF4.5 you can't call Methods that take parameters > In CF5 you can only call these in a limited way (and you have to know > the translation values for some defaults) > Not sure on CFMX as I haven't loaded it yet <g> I don't think this is an accurate representation; I think you can call methods that take parameters in CF 3 and newer versions, as long as those parameters can be represented as strings or Variants. That hasn't changed much in newer versions, either.
