>- see footer for list info -< Thanks Stephen, I wasn't aware that MM had yet released the CFMX 7.1 updater, looks like it was only released yesterday, although I had been checking periodically to see when it would appear.
About time MM released this... I always feel a lot happier running on .1 version rather than .0 especially since MM changed the goalposts somewhat between 6.0 & 6.1 regarding CFCs. Of particular note (to us and our clients anyway is support for windows2003 + SP1 and jrun 5 hotfixes). I will download to our dev server and evaluate (read watch all my SHadoMX CMS based sites break;) Full release notes here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/mx701updat er/cf701releasenotes01.html Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 September 2005 12:18 To: [email protected] Subject: Dev Digest, Vol 13, Issue 57 Send Dev mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://list.cfdeveloper.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/dev or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Dev digest..."

It'll be available as a Resultset in Flash. Arrays are arrays. Structures, if I remember rightly, are objects with properties. Which means you'll access them as you would a structure. Either way, I don't think you'll have any nasty surprises.

Giving them a license to enter anything into a text box is a pain. Then you can use CreateDate() and CreateTime() and use try and catch to make sure they are valid.
