I could... but that would force me into DAO land, which I really don't like. I like your code, and I think it demonstrates an excellent understanding of DAO development. I just don't like DAO stuff. I end up spending far too much time creating something that is far too complex, increasing both my development time (even if I use code gen tools) and the complexity of my system. I detest unnecessary complexity.
I've actually written something that comes close to my ideal, but have been flamed every time I shared it within this circle for 'not being true to the DAO development pattern'. As if I was trying. -Sam Curren --- [email protected] wrote: You can do what you are looking for with cfcPowerTools. It will > generate a DAO CFC with basic CRUD functions.
