Hi Jason, I believe you misunderstood Rick Roots original Post. From what I've read of this thread, it looks to me like you capitalized the "A" in your CFML code, turning "application.dsn" into "Application.dsn".
Rick was actually talking about your Application.cfc file itself - not anything in your CFML code. Since Windows is not a case-sensitive OS, it's common for CFML developers who develop on Windows systems to forget - or not even know - that the true CFML specification for the Application.cfm or the Application.cfc tag is to CAPITALIZE the "A" in "Application.cfm". Since Linux and Mac OSX are UNIX-based, and UNIX is a case-sensitive OS, CFML developers need to realize that this specification is enforced on those systems. It's not enforced on Windows because Windows doesn't bother to make the distinction when it comes to the names of your files. So... to fix this, simply capitalize the "A" in your "Application.cfc" file name. Hope this helps! -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ Blue Dragon Alliance Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jason T.
