sorry, I haven't been following this thread but just saw Duncan's post: is there any documentation anywhere about the differences between CF4.5 (which I use)/5 and CFMX? Although I've been writing CF on and off for a couple of years now, and I'm not a total newbie, I wouldn't say that I'm an expert either. but it seems likely that sooner or later support/hosting for 4.5 will be hard to come by, and I've been thinking about splashing out on MX studio. anyone any views (I'll follow this thread form now on, promise ;-)?
