Here's an article on updating a CF5 app by Ray Camden http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/updating_legacy.html Ecommerce will carry with it further implications here. If you take,transmit or store credit card info with this ecommerce cart then you'll need to make certain the system is PCI compliant. Here's the link on this.. https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/ Part of this requires using the latest software updates/patches, hence you probably need to upgrade to CF8. The other issue is that the app can't be on a shared hosting environment (PCI doesn't directly state this but you really can't comply any other way). Sounds like the app was built before PCI (Dec 2004), so I doubt the coding is within compliance either (look at section 6.5). If it's not, you may need to either rebuild or find a cart system that is. Bare in mind, PCI is required by the major credit card companies. Part of the merchant account agreement will contractual require the merchant to follow the standard. Noncompliance can cost your client in fines, law suits or removal of their merchant account, so it's serious business here. John Mason [EMAIL PROTECTED] 770.337.8363

I'm trying to convert the program to be compatible with MX. (The client host is running MX 6.1). I wasn't sure if the coding method completely changed or just the platform (Java) it was on. Any idea, what conversion problems I may run into? (The program is a shopping cart using a couple of arrays and a login cookie system).

Eric, welcome to the list. There's actually quite a few differences because CF made the jump to Java back in version 6. Are you migrating a site from CF5 or something? Feel free to provide some more information so we can help.
