Hello everyone, I have a need to build a site which will not have access to a database. Instead, the client has specified that I must use a flat file. On this flat file, I need to be able insert, update, and select Honestly, I don't even know where to start. Anyone have any idea how to go about this? Is there a udf or cfc out there that would help me?
