Greg, where do I send the check? :-) It did work, although I had to tweak a little... the "CFIDE.samples.Phones.CF.Catalog" path is hard-coded all over the place and I used a different path. Ben also forgot a file in his instructions (you have to copy over the Thumbs.mxml file too) but that was obvious and I got it working. Now I get to take it apart and learn how to plug RemoteObjects into my own projects.
Thanks Greg!!
