OK, thanks, found it. Still confused tho, as it's not checked on our local server, but /-delimited URLs don't seem to work locally. They do on our live site, but we don't have IIS access there. We plumped for "OK, it works, let's not ask questions" - but naturally this is less than ideal. I never really questioned it, but "index.cfm/action/page.view/id/42" seems to just work on our live site. Now I'm really foxed as to why - we don't have any custom 404 catching or anything... Any ideas? Hmmm, frustration at not knowing why something *works* makes a change!
