I agree with Peter's comments. This problem doesn't make much sense. No one is going to scroll through a recordset of 125,000 records one page at a time. Let's see, at 25 records per page, the chances of finding what you might be looking for is 1/5000! What kind of an application is that?

Rather than trying to use http_referer in your login page, try the following. Depends a little on how you have your security system setup. If you're including at the top of every secured page a template/code snippet to detect if someone is currently logged in, have that bit of code note

Even though the substantial connector price increase is unwelcome, the changes in the licensing scheme make perfect sense and greatly simplify the licensing. It's no long an 'Internet Connector' license, just a 'Processor' license and permits you to simply license the server per processor,

Yesterday, you gave a glowing recommendation for communitech. What's wrong with them? I suspect they don't offer 'ulimited traffic', because there's no such thing as unlimited traffic. Some hosts might use this phrase in their marketing, but rest assured you will not find infinite bandwidth -

This is hardly a hole. You can't block relaying solely on the FROM header. It's so easily forged as to be laughable. What if a spammer puts '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the FROM field of all the mail he relays through your email server? That's OK? Jim - Original Message - From: "Steve

Yes. This is exactly what I'm talking about. They want to be cheap and use CF Express, and I of course don't want that. I need to convince these folks that CF Express is NOT the way to go for hosting a large ecommerce site. What good (realistic) reasons can I give them to

The DateAdd function et al are designed to do date manipulation, painlessly. I had a look at the DateAdd documentation, but the example wasn't much help. Do you have any tips as to how I can define next week's date, based on today's? For working with dates, you should probably first be

Action="update" is correct. Action="run" will actually run a previously scheduled event (As in: "Do it now"). When you say you "don't see it happening", what do you mean? Do you have access to the CF Administrator? If so, you'll see whether or not the event was successfully scheduled. As to

I don't believe you can do this, short of reading the scheduled tasks out of the registry. I've done something similar, presenting the user with an interface to schedule a few templates, keeping the schedule information in a database. This is probably simpler than other alternatives, anyway.

I don't know, maybe it's just a philisophical problem I have with someone asking "which bugs do we fix". CF would be immeasurably more useful if all of the present bugs were fixed and the advertised functionality in the _current_ version were closer to being realized. Jim - Original
