Well I'm sure I'll have more questions but I guess I have no other alternative but to dive in and see where it takes me. There so much that I can mess up...how exciting ;-)

You also need to copy the webskins directory. Then rename folders and files to what ever you want to cal the object, eg myNews and _myNews. The edit each cfc and cfm - watch out to paths that refer to the farcry_core directory and change to your application directory. in the cfc, remove ad add arguements (table fields) as required. Then (this is maybe were you are getting stuck), in the edit part, your need to create a form field for each argument you added in the cfc. the display methods will need to be change to to look for display*.cfm in your webskin dirctory. Wow - there is sooo much that needs to be done. I will stay online a while longer if I have missed the question or you need further clarification. {please excuse typos - just got back from end of year P&C, drinks included} On Mon, 22 Nov 2004 09:08:47 -0500, Jaci Chesnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Ok I've finally hit a wall with FarCry.
