Ali, Definitely stick with it, for more complicated web applications CFC's really do become essential. You can of course build large applications without the use of CFC's as we all did before components came about but it tends to get messy (thats not saying cfc's automatically make things tidy God knows I have seen some pretty messy applications using CFC's).
CFC's aren't all that complicated when you think about it. You can think of cfc's as simply collections of functions grouped in a file by subject. For example a user.cfc would contain all the functions that would work with users (insert, update, delete, select etc). I would definitely recommend taking a basic programming course or getting a book on programming from your local library. -- Gary Gilbert http://www.garyrgilbert.com/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298326 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
