Single quotes. Single quotes. (sigh) Thanks, Barney. The answer is that I needed the result to be consistent with what I've been doing manually for two years: creating directories and index.cfm files on the web server to get URLs like www.example.com/go/myURL. I wanted to create a quick add/edit/delete form so the marketing staff can manage these aliases themselves. Given the correct syntax, I knew this would work and it would produce the results I needed.
That said, with this stable, I'll now look at a rewrite script to produce the same result. Before I dive in, can anyone point me to a good rewrite script that would give me: www.example.com/go/myURL Thanks for the info, and thanks for the 301 v 302 education.
