I agree completely. Now that I am pretty familiar with the custom tags and components, I see how very easy it is to just ignore the IDE altogether. But as a CF developer not used to having an IDE like this, you get lulled into thinking everything is point and shoot <g>. Once you get past that, it starts to 'make sense'. But I expect you will be covering this ground for a while. I spend weeks at a time outside the IDE now. I use it to prototype forms now. And I am interested long term in making use of the project file for other things. Where's that new website ;) ? > Respectfully, > > Adam Phillip Churvis > Member of Team Macromedia > > Advanced Intensive Training: > * C# & ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers > * ColdFusion MX Master Class > * Advanced Development with CFMX and SQL Server 2000 > http://www.ColdFusionTraining.com > > Download CommerceBlocks V2.1 and LoRCAT from > http://www.ProductivityEnhancement.com > > The ColdFusion MX Bible is in bookstores now! > > >
