Then you would have hit every possible answer-- just not in every possible combination. If at all possible, can you grab a pic of his face on your camera phone when you tell him there are over 4 million ways to take your test.

Re: remote FTP directly from client browser
I am not sure about AIR availability on the network. It is something I will definitely look into though. Would solve the problem. Rob Just to throw an idea out there that I have little idea how difficult it would be to implement nor if it would pass what ever concerns your clients are worried about. But could an AIR application solve something? Theoretically it allows you to use your HTML, CFML, JavaScript, ActionScript and MXML? (Flex) code skills to be used to write a client interface that is delivered to the user. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

CFStoredProc.StatusCode makes stored proc public
All, I have written a central monitor app in flex that uses CF remote objects to call CF web services for data retrieval. One of the functions in the web service calls a stored function that will return success or failure. The issue is that I am trying to keep everything local to the function, but as soon as I set ReturnCode to true, cfstoredproc becomes a public variable. I have tried using cfprocresult, but it never gets populated. I have tried setting the return variable, but cfstoredproc still goes public. The result variable stays local, so I guess if I never reference cfstoredproc.* I'll be OK, but I'd like to be able to keep it local. Anyone have any suggestions? I am using Flex 3 for the UI, CF 8 for the date retrieval and manipulation, win 2k3 server with IIS, and Intersystems Cache2k8 as the backend.

Make sure you have a simple page with the task labeled on it and then a big fat Print button. I'd be curious to see how much paper it takes to print out those 4 million combinations.

At one place I worked 12 o'clock blinker was a code word for the, how would you say... the technologically challenged. As in, everything in the place was blinking twelve o'clock G!

OT - Anyone know of a WEB spider that stores data in MSSQL Database
Good day, We have a client that has a requirement for indexing about 2-3 million pages of web pages (industry specific sites) to make them searchable within their existing website. The requirement is for this data to co-exist with existing data in their existing MSSQL server to make it searchable using MSSQL's free-text search functionality alongside existing searches. I am hoping that someone might have run across a windows based web spider that has this functionality. They are willing to purchase something if reasonable. I have looked at a couple of web spiders like Innerprise and some shareware items but all seem to either no longer be supported or don't interfacing with MSSQL. The open source spiders/search packages I have looked at all have their own indexing/searching engine or use MySQL as a data source. So can anyone direct me to a web spider that stores data into a MSSQL database. To make this (almost) on topic we are using CF for the existing site and new features :) Thanks.
