Adobe.com has a 'DevNet' dedicated to CF (http://macromedia.com/devnet/coldfusion/) too. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to synergistically architect robust networks on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
