Your url would read index.cfm?fuseaction=frameset, and your "frameset" case
statement would have a dsp_frameset.cfm file in it. Then in the
dsp_frameset.cfm file you'd have your <frame
src="index.cfm?fuseaction=menu"> and <frame
src="index.cfm?fuseaction=addUpdate">. Next, in your "menu" case statement,
you'd have a dsp_menu.cfm file (plus any act_files to set up the menu
correctly, if needed), and in your "addUpdate" case statement, you'd have
the act_files and qry_files you lined up before to get all the necessary
info into your form.
Are we getting there? The idea in fusebox is that everything goes through
the index.cfm file. You never call the "fuses" directly, fuses being the
dsp_files, act_files, and qry_files (etc.). So in fusebox with frames, the
same idea holds true, but you just have to think about each frame as a
separate document, and therefore a separate call to the fusebox (index.cfm).

| Yes that makes sense, but...

| How would you call all three fuses at the same time
| (ie, one hyperlink sends them to a new frame layout)?
| Or did I miss the point? I tested just creating the
| frameset and still all I get is source code for the
| page, but no display of the html, not even the frame
| borders....
