Ah, I see what you're getting at.
To hell with that. I don't want my CFMX server automatically downloading upgrades and patches on a live site. Imagine the problems that could cause. Microsoft may have decided to follow that route, but then again they have such a monopoly in the market that they can do pretty much what they like without worrying about losing customers to a rival. Macromedia are not in such a privileged position, so I doubt they'd do it. my 2p Spike Stephen Milligan Team Macromedia - ColdFusion Co-author 'Reality Macromedia ColdFusion MX: Intranets and Content Management' http://spikefu.blogspot.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 12 December 2002 11:33 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] CFMX Updater 2 > > > Quite. > I read the following post from guru a while back: > > "Yes, an update for CFMX is on the way.
