The host in question is Media3.net. And, unfortunately while investigating the 
DB driver question, I discovered they DO have cfexecute turned on!

I recommended they consider Fusionlink, but they picked Media3 because they 
were listed as a partner on Adobe's website, and because they were turned on by 
cool control panels and the illusion of control. 

I can guess why cfexecute is a bad idea, but why exactly -- What's a good 
example of the risk?

Thanks,

   Clarke

And if they have cfexecute access turn on, get off that host :)
