I said (and you're free to check the archive) that I found the idea of using Sites being easier to use than Projects hard to accept. In addition, I said "(if I was using it right)", leaving the door open for someone to explain how it should be used. > No. If you ask to edit a remote file, it opens up your local copy. If you > choose to "Get" it, you can. There are only two copies of the file. Ah, that sounds more promising. I certainly wasn't sure how to set up a new Site; it just didn't seem as straightforward as a Project, plus the help under F1 didn't make it any clearer. Oh, I've just seen and skimmed your other e-mail.... thanks! > Btw there are a lot of people who would say that editing a file on a remote > server is a bad idea...! Can't think why... Honestly... No you couldn't > break a site without testing it could you? OK, I'll give you a "for instance". I uploaded the latest version of a site to the server. Then, I spend all day working on a new feature that has resulted in editing parts of, say, 25 files. The development site isn't complete and tested. Someone says "Please make a simple text edit", or requests a change to a global variable, for example a setting that that specifies the number of days of something or other. Rather than make them wait for the new feature to be finished and tested which might take a couple of days depending on the work involved, with RDS you can just dive onto the server and make your amendment. You know in your own mind that it's not going to cause errors; job done. > I still think that once you get used to anything, you begin to learn how > to work around/avoid the issues inherent in anything.

The speed of response in the edit window was the straw that broke the camel's back. Maybe it'll run faster on this new PC. Thanks again for your second e-mail, btw. I'll read it over lunch, install DWMX and give it another shot. -- Aidan Whitehall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental Ltd +44 (0)1695 51775 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
