Andy's definitely on the right track here. CFMX 6.x was a major "engine" release - the system was converted to Java. It did add some features, but for the most part all effort was poured into the engine. CF 7 is a "feature" release. It uses essentially the same engine as 6.x (with all patches and bug fixes) but adds many large, new features. If your boss is concerned you could compromise by moving to 7 but delaying any usage of those new features until testing or aging has happened. Doing this is essentially the same as starting with 6 and later moving to 7 but much, much cheaper. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
